 Sayonara
...for April



Strange--

    How a few sheets

        of paper

    wield awesome, final,

            overwhelming power...

    A few strokes of black

                on white

            and life changes irrevocably...


One setting at dinner

    where once were three;

awakening to a bed

        suddenly twice as big;


Empty closets, empty drawers--

            Empty rooms...

    Years of life, laughter;

        struggles and pain

            --reduced in awesome finality

                        to solitary memories

                            never more to be shared...

Yet, life

    is the stronger,

    going on to new experiences

        someday to be cherished

                and shared;

    filling in the voids,

        soothing the pains,

                and;

            in the end,

                    triumphant.


                                   May 7, 1979
