Goodbye, fare well.

Goodbye, fare well.

These are days of greyscale rainbows
when half-face angels without wings
hold the hands of the dying
proxy kinfolk,
substitute emotion
flows from heart to cheek.
Goodbye, fare well.

A ship slips its berth
and fades from ICU
to I don't see you
anymore.
Goodbye, fare well.

Breath stolen,
new journey begins
from that unchosen harbour.
A trolley, clanking in night
like rigging in sea breeze,
takes your anchor body away.
Goodbye, fare well.
Journey on.
