more of an acquaintance, really
for the only reason we knew each other-
is only necessary? for why does anyone come to know another if not by simple
chance and common interest-
was through art
wax specifically
he came taught connected and went his way
we stayed in touch me
in possession of one of his creations
him with a few more dollars in his bank account
now he is gone long
first his partner then he
disappeared but for the painting leaning
against the wall next to the television i never watch
peering back at me and always bringing me
delight
life happens so quickly some times
i wonder how i come to spend days
weeks
ruminating over things not right
when someone a dear human
is all the way gone
