pale

the tears in your eyes,
you've forgotten the reason
of your grief, did you know
that she was only a child,
when you slipped out of mind,
out of reach, a long time,
since she married, the picture
on the wall, faded yellow,
she sat with you, many times,
under the shade, asking you
to come to the wedding,
to the cemetery on Novembers,
where did you want to be buried,
when you die, how would you
like to die now, in your sleep,
so you sleep all night and day,
to see the end of the tunnel,
to see if you still have eyes,
so you could see what became
of her, the world, of you
