I hope it’s an adventure for my future’s sake and his and he’s off to find his family and his friends and people he’s admired
I hope it’s an adventure he’s ventured off to begin
and if it is, and there is awareness across this difficult divide I imagine he feels a friendly bump and a kind of signal along his once and future spine when one of us says to ourselves or to each other “I can’t believe he’s gone.”
it’s certain there is evidence of something more than here and if there is and there is awareness and I really hope there is I’m sure he feels compassion when we think of him and are sad and he remembers how it was
but I hope it’s an adventure beyond his wildest dream and he’s tromping or flying down some strange and wondrous way
before he returns again
