RIP Earl Bayne - March 15, 2000

By A.E. Bayne

Your decisive marks grip me for a glimpse of you.
Finding those things you left at inconsequential moments,
thoughts in mid-sentence.
What were you thinking when you picked up the pen to write that note?
What were you going to buy with that last dollar you carried;
A lifeline to the material, the physical?
What were you dreaming when you were dying?
Sometimes I see you in my words.

What a nice picture of your dad. The anniversaries are tough...how nice that you could honor him in more than one way today.

Oh, this took my breath away. Your dad was such a great guy. Terrific picture, too.
