For my young friend Matthew
“To be honest,
It would break my heart
To go”
Matt said.
“Hearts –
Are very funny things”
I said.
“Sometimes,
It’s better
To let them break,
Than slowly bleed.
Funerals are for sharing –
All that painful feeling,
Hearts –
Are very funny things”
I said,
“And if you let them,
They’re very good
At healing
