We Still Fail To Keep Them By Heart. Poem by RIC BASTASA

at the end
of it all there is
no need for
logic anymore

at the time when
you were alive
so much has been used

and yet the ending
comes and it is a closed
door meeting
between you and yourself
or

with someone else and then
you both leave

and where's the logic here?
you have kept so much
built more
and confined to just
that

now where are you?
here i am still thirsty and
hungry for all your
explanations

the butterflies and
flowers
have kept to themselves
the truths
that they do not have to
speak to us

simply because they are
too obvious
and we still fail to keep
them by heart.
