Fire-maker

He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders
invisibly
with a smile
a laugh

Now he turns to me and puts the world down on his bedside table
warns me he might not be around for a while
to not worry
to continue as before

And the world goes on ticking

but I am left with the smokey, dream-like memories of last night
and his words floating about the air

This haze will lift
