I have seen a rosella

beautiful bird of colours

standing on the roadside

too close



too close



until the end

seems somehow inevitable



when it's mate has gone

the bird doesn't know

how to live

anymore



I feel your absence

like loss of the good part

of myself



I don't wonder

how to go on

I wonder

why
