valor

my eyes refuge in the curve of my elbow wept
when heard i of your bravery and daring my dear

words

because your voice was at my side
i gave him pain
because within my hand i held
you hand again

there is no word nor any sign
to make amend
he is a stranger to me now
who was my friend

might i

all seek from you life and death and substance
i only want to know the colour of your eyes
