To Marguarite
Goodbye goodbye
my good dear friend,
my dear one.
How I want to
take your pain away.
Your lucid eyes tell me
how your body betrays you.
How can such a crumpled form
hold your razor mind?
Your body threatens to fall away,
to leave you out there-
only spirit -
vital essence.
I would hold you all day long
if it would only
bring you back.
