I searched the sky
Reflected in the casket handle for a cloud
Shaped like happiness
Happiness knows each song I request
Like a prayer.
Happiness knows bad jokes.
I've told the stories of happiness
To strangers in first person;
It plays with the scar
And watched for a response.
Thus, I'll pile these sheets of paper
To watch happily
The funeral of a sunshine colour
Less of a bruise...
Grief that permits us to ring this red gouge in The earth
I can remember tides,
Bows of festival presents,
The last strands of hair,
Wind on my cheek
That night, each cigarette for two years;
I can't yet
Remember enough.

Finally closed and mercifully
Empty of fear;
I miss you dead old happyness.

I Miss You in This Way
The words are chosen with measured, meditative care, and each image builds in to a complete reflection. and... I identified with this more than you'll know... But without belabouring the point: this is beautiful. Thank you for this, Myth
