Haiku For Lost Friends

I’m crying, can’t stop
Snowfall at night but it’s day
You! Onto the boat!

Chagall 2015

The universe runs parallel to ours
Birthed at that time, yes the Towers still stand
Grandma’s picture frames show us at Disney
Paddy came home late last night but who cares

Yet she jogs everyday alongside him

Eve

Yesterday the sun will shine as it did
the future kinetic sky-blue yearns for grace
peaceful children yawn, kiss daddy

steadily my friends are falling everywhere klaxons toll
let them float one last time dear God
(burn my throat with tears I can’t feel
brace my lungs with rage to howl)
to alight on sunlit beams
splayed across the Hudson
