perfect syntax


there's a phrase inside my mouth

a sentence
on the paragraphic verge
of consonance

a promise
to be mutually resolved

in perfect syntax

DAVID BARNES
For Daniel

If the door
should ever abruptly close between us,
do not grieve at my passing.
Rejoice, in having known me:
do not fear the coming; let go, in good spirit:
Mourn not
the loss of touch, of these aged wiry hands,
words said, unsaid:
in you I am well rewarded.
Do not fear the coming, or where I go.
Companions
who I have loved, and still love,
tell them my song...
If the door
should ever abruptly close.
