We lost a friend this weekend.
He was much too young,
much too funny,
much too charming
to suddenly be gone.
No one can quite believe it,
that cancer took him so fast,
that there was barely time
to say goodbye.
I watched the sky
and thought of him today,
imagining him raising hell
at the pearly gates,
a stiff drink in one hand
and a cigar in the other,
cracking up everybody else in line.
The way I see it,
