Oh you were big!
A head the size of a mack truck...

Sweet baby bird
with your wings burned black...

Deep forest green gives way
to natures soft subtle hues...

You were my first,
you have been the only...

I wish the world
was not so cold...

We all learned
to build bridges...

Mystical, maddingly crazy
other times...

We all have
those moments...

Matriarchal led
only mammal that can't jump...

Seventeen years ago
our world was changed forever...

You will never know
the depth of my love...

I can still feel the taste
of your skin...
