Awaiting someone I fear I've missed,
expecting a step, a laugh, a smile,
for a friend like them,

and yet call upon the clouds as brothers.
Under the mighty dome a blackbird flew,
flitting as if beneath the arch of heaven.
Passing from sunlight through quick-forgotten shade and back again.
It did not sing,
but as it passed,
lament did follow.
