For a Late Friend
I didn’t know you’d left
until I saw your tomb
stretched out in tears and memories,
a timeline of despair and love.
I wish I could have stretched
across the years of space
and been what you needed,
and been enough for you
as well as me.
I wish I could have been a man
and that you were still a woman.

Oof!
My deepest condolences on the loss of your friend, Jack. It can be quite shocking when we discover someone we knew crossed over without our knowledge. I just discovered two last month and it was quite shocking, to say the least. And even though we'd drifted apart a decade or more earlier, it still opened the floodgates of memory, especially for my latter teens/early 20's.

Thank you, Aha, it’s uplifting to know that others have had similar experiences. It was certainly shocking for me. This poem really was a way of dealing with that sudden onrush of pain and grief.
