Perhaps he never died.
We mourned him separately,
in silence,
she and I.
Suddenly, at seventy-eight
she tells me his jokes,
his stories, the names of
paintings he loved,
and of some forgotten place
where blue flowers fell.
I am afraid
for her, for myself,
but can say nothing.
- She and I, Eunice De Souza
