Timeline

Facebook sends reminders of his

Birthday unaware he is no more

Friends do not forget to post messages

On his timeline with RIP greetings

To keep the memory alive of someone

Who is part of our unforgettable past

Is to refresh our own fading albums 

Remember our own imminent demise

When we leave behind all that we love ----

The morning sun casts shadows all over

I watch my own thin one trailing me as I

Begin my regular constitutional around

Familiar streets now prepping for rush hour

I do not have to hurry anymore nor want

To outwalk the predator shadowing me

I would not mind even if I am forgotten.
