Mourning

You make all these plans were,

you are going to get married

you will breathe three days

and you are going to read more.

You think about them years in advance,

you thought them with care and with rules

you do it because you think

than in five years,

ten years

and forty years from here

he will continue to be there, like a firm tree

and loyal.

They are plans with rules and written in cement,

you have them with you like a dream,

until you blink

just a second where you do not look before crossing

and then a year stops existing

because he is no longer here

And what are the plans for without him?
