Goodbyeing
Losing a parent
Is not watching someone else
(Lose a parent)
It's not comforting another
Or making yourself available to a brother
Or thinking quietly "poor bastard"
No, it is lonely
And humbling
And quietly greeted with internal mourning
Because you can plan all you want
But when it's your time to speak
To noone at all
You will know that they've risen
And especially if they fall
This is a given
