I remember
when a man
I knew
as a teenage boy
told me about
the wonderful friendships
he made
as a young man
that he thought
would last forever
and hadn’t
looking directly
into my eyes
his
full of
the lovely dying wife
he could not help
leaving him with
three young sons
they both adored
filling me with disbelief
the possibility
of my best friends
gone forever
one way or another
no longer there
when
I need someone
who
knows me well
to break my fall.
