After They're Gone For Everyone But YOU

________________________________________________________________________________________________

the day they leave
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.

but
trouble is avoidable,
joyously and silently

when the interior dialog
updates you on their life
after life

(and vice versa)

but
they already know
everything about you

the key is
not one living thing
other than YOU
need know a word
you say or is said
to you

by the long gone
but long needed

and heeded
under the streetlight
or your trysting place
of choice

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

for only you
