Last day in Paris, last day in Europe;
after four and a half months.
Maybe the last time to see Gerry.
He could disappear, just as his friend Kevin did,
in an unexpected moment.
Not so very unlike the certainties that await us all.
These rooms and streets, all friends now.
But they could become strangers again
as have so many once the light of
our friends have moved on
and left them empty.
