the fragrance of your parting tanka sequence

the fragrance of your parting
 to a friend that passed away August 1


living
without suspicion
you pass away
as we watch
the city lights disappear

butterflies
are white because of this
summer drought…
we talk of grief
and shadows that appear in dreams

we struggle
with our thoughts
and find
that joy is nothing more
than pain refined
