THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR

A bit of blue sky

thrown over the afternoon,

no Sun

(naturally, that would be too much);

a hasty end

to a year

that took so much -

took a an axe and chopped off

a chunk of my life with you.

Gone, so much and now

the blue behind

tattered clouds

a brief 'Happy End'

to a year

when my own death began.
