Losing Someone
It’s as if in Nepal you left your house to see the mountains
And Everest is gone – no – really gone. Great clouds
Pass by wondering. No place to lean on there.
.
What’s left is your memory of an immensity.
It stays with you, lives with you growing deeper,
Stronger, taller, — at last as present as the mountain.
