Left Behind

In memory of my beloved uncle — zio Felice

… And I am still here,
to wander through this life as before.

But I’m on the earth and you are among the stars,
while I’m looking for you with intent and disbelieving eyes.

Are you up there twinkling and flickering,
or did you fly to the furthest crease of Time?
