The Only Other Man

You went to walk away
I walked that way too
You closed the openness of love
I broke the outbound spell you threw

I am here in my capsule
I wander in and out of clouds
I hear; yes I hear you too
Loneliness at peace in truth

I walk today
With the only other man
Distracted but intact
By the pact of a shorter span

I cried at the funeral
Tears to the tune of a song
I cried at the eulogy
Fears that still wander on

I cried at the poetry
Arrears in the name
Of the unknown
Poets near-on refrain

Back from quite a journey
I wander in and out of rooms
And I hear; I hear you too
Peacefulness alone with proof
