it is hard to bid adieu
hard to avow your absence
hard even to live the life with this bruising aloneness
with a reluctant heart,
with a sored psyche,
with an aching love,
mortality being vexed,
like a melancholy in my soul's vestibule
this is tribulating!
but your truancy,being the foremost closeness to my heart,
your enduring reality in me,
is making you endless,
more worthy, making me alive.
