Gone Too Soon

All those switchbacks cut the time in half You were on the furthest branch, your forehead dipped in candle wax There's no peace in rest on that other side but we'll sleep better here believing that you might And we spill wine and share the stories which strain to capture you just right and there was not a dry eye in the house You didn't leave a single dry eye Gone too soon Your ex-roommate sends his love with an old snapshot of you at a barbecue sticking out your tongue I passed Brian Byrd crouched down on an empty patio one hand still holding onto the broom The other sweeping your laughter from his eyes because now you're gone too soon Well, Jeff's been sketching a family of pigeons on the ledge of his apartment nesting He might convalesce until those eggs hatch with butcher paper and ink wash at the ready And Noah takes the horse trails through milkweed and bur oaks A broken sunset spills before him And you've got the surliest waiters in Omaha in the kitchen crying into their aprons Gone too soon Shake off that dusty epithet Nobody laugh and nobody move Can't you see I'm trying to take your portrait? Wearing your cowboy hat in that linen suit and whistling an old Waylon Jennings tune We just turned away for a second, it seemed and now you're gone too soon
