in lamantia
it is all there you told me

so i read
lamantia and felt nothing

read his
poems again then looking

but when
you passed away this fall

i read
lamantia again and this time

i saw
when you're missing someone

then lamantia
is crystal clear and piercing

lamantia writing
to every broken heart ever was

lamantia writing
to every searcher who cant stop searching
