In Memoriam A.K.; Memo

In Memoriam A.K.

 

This is where the train stops

the sudden star ends

your trajectory breath

of winds and wave plume

this is where rainbows

leave the earth

where all you will need

is clear as this still night

where nothing can escape

or be altered by your sight

this the last and tranquil station

where the train stops

and you so quietly alight.

 

Memo

(after Sokan)

 

Should anyone think

to ask after me

tell them

I had to hurry

to some minor business

in a different world.
