ALEXANDRA
My dearest Alexandra,
This was good-bye,
I will never see you,
Never knowing why.
Watching your windows,
Filled my eyes;
Darkness, sunrise, sunset,
Clay footed, trembling.
Invisibly leaving,
Dropping paper and ink.
Tearfully, purposely,
Fading, fading away.
Love is yours again,
Loneliness comes,
A brief eternity passes,
Until a better hand takes yours.
