The 65th You Never Had


The 65th you never had
A day of smokes and celebration
Your second self abroad is sad
Discarded shadow resignation

Ten years you've gone from here to there
Traced in smoke, transfiguration
Your second self abroad knows where
To find you benched on your vacation

I seek you still, the truth to see
Revealed through smokes and cerebration
Your second self abroad's not me
But gives me grace of expectation.

for Krzysztof Kieslowski
June 27, 1941 - March 13, 1996
