Tears Like Wine - An Elegy of Sorts

(For Ben, Mark, Mary Jane, Kathleen, and My Old Man)

midnight is bleak
the mountains barely visible
through the rain

and then I remember all those
who have departed but left behind
their wit and generosity of spirit

the wind filling the street
feels warmer and the rain streaming
down my face tastes like wine
