BEN

The Moon is older than the Earth
By as much as a million years
Scientists say… but where it was
Before and how it got to where
It makes its way around the Earth
In an orbit that I can follow
is the kind of wonderful mystery 
That my friend Ben has been.

How to think about him now
That he is not among us here
Is like trying to figure out how
That green cactus is eternal…
It belongs in the green pot
At the edge of a garden walk
Where I will see it when I pass
And know always it is there .


Patrick's Pizza, like Margaret's Blueberry Pie
is a kind of magic...
Like Michael.
