17.3.14


















we lost a dear friend and we grieved him
and we laughed too at the loud, happy memories
and now it's time to pick up, move on
as best we can.

perhaps even celebrate my birthday tomorrow,
though the numbers are growing more and more far-fetched :)


a beautiful week to you, hope you're all well.
