Gone Six Years
Going about,
I passed a glimpse of Barb’s gentle pink slippers.
Them, empty of her,
surged fourth,
and my whole surrounding
felt like a slipper she used to slip into,
and now she is out of.
Thus, one of Buddha’s three marks –
Impermanence –
Is permanent!
And emphatically real,
when at times,
seemed a little iffy –
Now being everywhere,
and out front.
And these words spilling out of her slipper,
like those did with the Bee Gees,
“ Nobody gets, too much, love anymore…”
