Each grain of sand contains within it
the entire knowledge of the universe,
each breath of wind
all of time.
You have flown
while I watched the scimitar sliver
of a pale mooncrescent
rise over the prussian blue heat.
I would have liked
to know you more
to continue and deepen our friendship
then
the spaces appeared
illness claimed you
pain and suffering chose to work on you but
I
am here
at this Abu Dhabi hotel writingdesk
and the Chevrolet garage across the road
is already open.
