Requiescat In Pacem
GCC, 03-29-11~03-13-07
Dearth
His absence sounds
not like silence
but tremor: final
fugal harmony suspended
in sanctuary's high air
tangible: polished space
on the oak table
where yesterday
a lamp stood
tang that lingers
on the tongue, bitter-
sweet and sharp, when
the plate is empty
no movement in the room,
though the eye's corner sees
dust motes twirl, stirred
by graceful sweep of arm
beyond our perceiving

I hadn't had the chance to stop in and give my deepest of sympathies. He sounds as if he were a great gift to have in your lives.
