FRIENDS FOR A REASON, FRIENDS FOR A SEASON, AND (THEN) FRIENDS FOREVER

This is Temporary: 7 of 8

Like a distillation column,
as I lighten so does my company,
       but it’s been the perfect quiet.
 
So why cry violence?
 
You can keep such good company
that all company vanishes,
       even forgiveness vanishes
       because who was even slighted?
 
Only on my very best day
can I mimic Rykan with
any sincerity when he said:
 
       “O, that my priest’s robe
       were wide enough to gather
       all the suffering people
       in this floating world.”
