The letter, wax seal
broken
The news, such honor
taken
A friend, forever
gone
His Andromeda, the
swan.
she had found love and
left her home and
ran away and
didn’t look back and
sent a last note and
changed his mind.
The pain, too much to
bear.
Lost religion, perhaps a
prayer?
Or an idea, a plan, a

he went back and
took the prize and
lost his balance and
sank, deeper, deeper, and
the bubbles stopped and
he closed his eyes.
The letter, wax seal
broken.
Her cousin’s life,
taken
A friend, forever
departed
Her Regulus, she felt
fainthearted
she cried as he had cried and
sent a note to his mum and
pondered lost religion and
said a prayer for his soul and
almost looked back and
wished she hadn’t changed his mind.
