"When Mother Nature
saw fit to remove the tail of the Manx, she left, in place of the
tail, more cat." --Mary Stewart

Vagary Bon Mot (1991 - 2001)
What do
you do when a good friend dies?
What do you do
when a good friend dies?
Do you lash out in anger and curse at the sky.
Or grasp hard denial, the means of the weak,
In an effort to kindle the comfort you seek.
What do you do when a good friend dies?
Once life's breath, so precious, gives the chest final rise.
In haste you take blame, no other at fault,
You kneel on upturned earth and deem all happiness to halt.
What do you do when a good friend dies?
When with her the times, both good and bad, lie.
Do you cast aside the past,
for memories hurt much too much,
Or struggle and fight for that last lingering touch.
What do you do when a good friend dies?
When all of the tears have all but been cried.
No matter how much, no matter how hard you try,
The only thing to do is say farewell.
Goodbye.
