TheBanyanTree: david eric

[Mike Pingleton]

david eric fell from the ledge
into the falls,
slithered over the edge
slipped from this world
into the next,
palms sliding over wet moss
eyes locked on the silver wet
davy fell from our sight
slipped into loss
vanished from view
from tomorrow, 
from ever on,
into the night.

into the rock they bored,
his brothers,
and his wife set in cement
an epitaph of their sentiment;
here you left us, slipped your tether,
swam dark water
to the far shore.
we leave this brass to mark
where love slipped 
and fell into memory.
