That cherry-face smile
nothing but good vibes
I never supposed
next year
you wouldn’t be
here
green Asturian summer
cheering to that
karaoke neighbor
a welcoming house
light-heart
mahou laughs
Just yesterday
I was about to say
your giggly ways
guarantee
long-liviness
Dear, dear friend
it’s been so unfair
I refuse to admit that
you’re no longer
there
How does one begin
to say good-bye?
can’t even
get my eye-balls dry
I would prefer to say
come visit me
from the other side
and fill the room again
with light
and that
cherry-face smile
