For Jonathan

Beloved Jonathan
……son of my heart. What am I to say of you?
What has become of you
that your spirit dwells now with your Maker?

Dwell on little brother—flesh of my flesh.

Greet me in the morning that I wake
for it shall come sooner than we both would think.

A twinkling of an eye—a great quake—the great day is upon us,
and at least—you are safe.

Greet those that would arrive before me…
for I shall be late in coming.
Perhaps one more will be convinced
and will see what you already see.
