good-byes

what does it mean
to say good-bye
twice in a week

every step
leaves behind
a trail

for the tears
to water the flowers
that once have blossomed

a neighbour left
on Friday
another colleague left
3 hours ago

when every boat
has sailed away
when the sun has dropped

beneath the evening line
and even the moon
has not slept in the night

with sunken eyes
will someday say
the final

good-byes


one, a neighbour, the other, a colleague, who passed away on the same week
