\nEvening Return<\/strong><\/p>\nEntrenched in silence, we wait for news<\/p>\n
From the outside world that not yet wants to come at once.<\/p>\n
We sit in a strange silence, all I wanted to say<\/p>\n
Is too late. You were a fixed place, now you are done and gone.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, restlessly, we get up, go to your bed for a moment,<\/p>\n
Stare nearly reverently at what lies there and is gone.<\/p>\n
Orphaned the room around me<\/p>\n
The newly upholstered footstool, the recently used cup,<\/p>\n
Both brothers surrounded by their wives, dead the TV,<\/p>\n
The stains in the rug, and death documents on the table.<\/p>\n
Disembodied, you are released.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the dying night, I catch the last train.<\/p>\n
