Undulating Nexus Janet Kuypers 10/26/19 Anything can happen at any time so it breaks my heart when you say good-bye Your desire to live changes everything because your beauty and your grace, like a gazelle is something I wish to never say good-bye to I want to hold these images of yours, these percolations that wash over me — because no one speaks in the language of angels unless it is you — until you say good-bye to me again my fortune’s been cast, like rain pummeling down on me, pummeling me ever since these words belonging to you were so succinctly punctuated to me. Good-bye. It still echoes through this skull chambering my mind. You gave me light. You helped me shine — this truth we shared together cannot be a good-bye because our time together is eternal, so don’t say good-bye. Our creative, now undulating nexus will never end.
