For Lorenzo Thomas (1944-July 4, 2005

Lorenzo, there are
fireworks
cracking, and

no words now
for you
and none

from you,
goddamm.
The world

has this thing
about it.
No words enough

but those put
as the poem
to be just

or in accord
with us, with
out you now too.

And young men
set fire
to bottle rockets.

Night sky.
Night sky.
And you.
