different ships
nov 19, 2007
an old man died yesterday
some knew him as "The Bachelor of Brno"
handsome, a bit of a womanizer
a character, stuck in his ways
"It's complicated…" he was fond of saying
he lived with a woman… not his wife, really
more of a shipmate, riding this final sea
she's there now, in the apartment alone
recalculating the points on her compass, probably…
shifting winds, new landmarks, she'll bury him
they are on different ships now.
