Today the sun shines red on downcast eyes
Staring at clasped hands of silence.
Someone sniffles, another quietly cries,
We avoid each other, quiet and tense
With the lid of grief on heavy eyelids.
Blank and hard faces of sadness,
Gripping us in sleeves of black.
Yesterday we were so careless...
Unsaid words take us back
Into gulfs of singing thoughts.
You have not disappeared yet -
These words go through our heavy hellos.
Bees in black and yellow
Humming for you to come back.
You have not disappeared yet!
To the lock you’ve given us so many keys
As the campus grows quiet
In its living memories,
You have not disappeared yet.
