for JHH

i eulogize everything, wherever I go
and i had meant to put the music on and shed a tear for yours
but the pen was a capella and my memory didn't get there on its own
you died after two weeks of your allotted eight
in another universe i did it the right way and it was perfect
but that universe didn't have this you
i didn't either
but I miss you tragically, John

you weren't someone that i ever would have dared to mention these things to
but the world didn't stop for but a millisecond
and i feel to blame
because i spent my time in farther corners than yours
trying to find the tear in the sky in Macondo and Pianosa
and i couldn't do anything for you
