WHEN I PASS.

WHEN I PASS.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

A FATHER TALKS TO HIS DEAD SON.

"

When I pass
the office
where once

you worked,
my son,
I look up to see

if you are there
as once I use to do
before your

sad demise,
but you are not
of course,

just the windows
as they were,
emptier now,

less meaningful,
as one who looks
into a dark abyss,

remembering
the last spoken word
and final given kiss.
