Letter to beyond

(listen here) There you are! Appearing as iftwenty years is just a day. We talk of life,not death: the long sleepthat morphs us back to sky dust. We never mention‘it’. How you’ve missedall the important things drifting away like thaton wings of sleep. This isn’t what I meantto write, but time, distance, have dissipated anger. I can cry, butcan’t say your name. Do you know why,there is no why? You said to try& I have: random circlesof ‘try’, spiralling high wireto high wire finding meaning,for others. There you are,young still; I hope that Iarrive in your next dream, so pristine clean,so smiley.
