last night: for JEP

last night you came
again complaining
of the journey
across limitless sky
riding a cloud
like some ancient hero
you always wanted
to be
can’t you find
someone there
to talk to
you ask
some weariness
I notice
in your voice
not like you
I say in reply
not like you
and then there is
your famous twinkle
in your eyes
and the room
grows bright
with remembering
