Gone Like That

His brother, a few years younger
went like that! snapping his fingers
icy winds escorting a tear down the canals
of his weathered sad-black face
‘Daddy taught me not to fear death’ he said
tear swirling down gray graveyard road.
Saxophone street blaring
his brother had a heart attack
gone like that
Mine they went the hard way man
hooked up to yellow bedbug machines
antiseptic corridor dreams
Gone like that
sailing through heaven’s red green streetlights
And here below on heartache row
anchors of peace float like detritus
in the lost pages of existential’s sweet tucked-in bedtime
‘Well I’ll see ya’ the smiling sad friend walks away
let’s play some music
soon…
