another for tony
it was hard to not see you in the room
but you were seen in the eyes of all
and heard in the voices
lifting to the ceiling
and carrying the hearts
music and love
says there’s no need for ghosts
because the beating hearts
are an echo of you
and the words call you up
and it was hard not see you in the room
and i think for a moment i did
weaving through us all
stitching us together
with a smile and a memory and a promise
it was a while since i’d seen you
but there’d been time in between before
and it never made any difference
we just picked it up right off the floor
with a hug and a shrug and smile
i’m sure we’ll see each other in a while
