A Thank-You

*For bcb, for real.

 

I think

when I die

one of the things I’ll miss most

is

you.

 

I love that the whole world

is an inside joke

(for us, between us)

that never goes stale.

    Thank you for this, and for including the reference to stale, which is a veiled reference to bread, which is a veiled reference to crumbs, which is a veiled reference to sweeping up, which is a veiled reference to cleaning.

    I ADORE THIS POEM.

    How true it is!

  2. Great poem. Great site. Reading your other work (some now and then some later)…I love your humour…yet when you mean business, it is very clear to the reader…few can do that dance…best, Darren King

    Poeticgrin–it wasn’t a “veiled” reference to cleaning…only a calculation I knew you’d love to make (just as 4+3=7, stale + crumbs = reason to tidy up).

    Darren–thank you so much! Black humor and despair tend to give a writer “a way with words.”

  4. wow how beautiful is that. fantastic writing and what a great dedication to a friend.

  5. That is a beautiful tiny elegant thought poem. ‘inside joke’, private language, but so carefully and delicately expressed, truely beautiful.
