because we are human
we made meaning together
with gestures &
smiles––
no need for words
& we loved one another
as all men should
your life ended
as a man rich with
wisdom
& a heart as big as
the sky
we will be visiting you
at the ancestor house
where our friendship souls
will touch again
laughing
these facts survive––
we are one blood
& we shared great joy––
& this is true
for the two of us
what ever forever
comes
