the day they leave
is tattooed
to the skull
but
the longer they are gone
the more you see them
but
is tattooed
to the skull
but
the longer they are gone
the more you see them
but
only you see them
only you
if it is not your secret
if you bullhorn their presence
to the unitiated,
that is when the trouble begins.
if you bullhorn their presence
to the unitiated,
that is when the trouble begins.
but
trouble is avoidable,
joyously and silently
joyously and silently
when the interior dialog
updates you on their life
after life
after life
(and vice versa)
but
they already know
everything about you
the key is
the key is
not one living thing
other than YOU
need know a word
need know a word
you say or is said
to you
by the long gone
but long needed
and heeded
and heeded
under the streetlight
or your trysting place
of choice
with the invisible voice of
with the invisible voice of
mother and father
with eternal youth
in their eyes
and you in their soul
to give solace, comfort,
counsel and maybe,
a joke or two
with eternal youth
in their eyes
and you in their soul
to give solace, comfort,
counsel and maybe,
a joke or two
for only you
