brother poem

the sky
in your arms was still delight
see, they return
and still they walked on
my sorrow, when she's here with me
there's one that i once loved so much
my mother taught me that every night
i loathed you
three days i heard them grieve when i lay dead
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
bring me soft song
there by the window in the old house
often i think of the beautiful town
