Kiss the Breeze
This afternoon I felt fragile
So fragile the gentle breeze could have sliced me in half
But it didn't
Maybe that's just not what breezes do
Or perhaps the breeze took pity on me for the days events
On most other days a breeze is a delight but
Today my friend died
Cancer took a lovely man
Last time i saw him we went to shake hands but
I kissed his cheek instead
I'm so glad i did
He smiled a broad toothy smile and we said goodbye
I'd see him again or so i thought
But i didn't
I'm so glad I kissed his cheek.
Today, ten days later his deconstruction begins
It's the end of his body, the vessel that he sailed in.
His surname was Breeze that's not a lie
You wouldn't read about it
But you just did.
I thought of him just now and smiled
The breeze smiled with me
And said it was glad
I kissed his cheek.
