so say good-bye
by John Ilotan
There is no comfort
in death
there is no solace
when it touches you
so suddenly
unexpectedly leaving you
crumpled and broken
on the side of the road
without having said
good-bye
There is no comfort
in death
there is no solace
when the sky is a summer blue
and a warm breeze
rides through your hair
there is only a separation
a heartbreaking cessation
of acceleration
There is only grief
so say good-bye
