Farewell

They don't ask you when you can say good-bye
they don't ask of your humane habits
they don't ask of your own self.

At some point in time
all of a sudden
you have to come face to face
                             tolerate
                             accept
                                    the farewell
                                    the pain of death
                                    the fall
so that
You can, again
rise up.
