Love

sad teddy peers out of his plastic eyes
to be one with the world you are without
i see you unravel at the seams, my love
my darling bear, you know i love
and i have seen it like you
that the world simply is not what it is
but rather it is not what it is not
yes, teddy
life is like a long hallway where
familiar sounds once rang
once there briefly
to be gone lost where
to cherish them while they are there
teddy
noisy in the hallways of your mind
where plastic eyes become
that of a child's
memories that vibrate so dear and vivid yet
so far way
like my homeland, my family, my time
hug teddy love good bye
