Where Did You Go To Die

 Where do we go to die?

like a dog who knows its 

days are numbered

Did you walk towards the sunset?

what were the last words you muttered?


I ask myself these questions 

over and over

because the end of you

was not imaginable

I thought maybe he's gone to a city

like Kerouac or Cassidy


Off to find yourself

old man who wanted to live off the land

Maybe a hermit, always a wanderer

but I thought no, he would never leave sister

or me, or mother

And then I felt this dread knowing

you became one of the missing, the murdered.


my toksa, my boy

where did you go to die?

what took you from the future, the hope 

I used to see in your eyes?

I look for you still in the horizon

in sunsets and risings

And tell me where do you go to die?

I'll go there too , I don't mind waiting
