i miss my friend

he used to brush his prickly hairs
against my smooth smooth cheek
while wrapping his long strong arms around me

whispering
he liked my hugs the best
cause he could feel my heart
through my chest and his

i miss my friend

and his mighty howling
ras ta far i
ethiopian poet cries
out into the night sky
in front of 5th st.

i miss the gaps in his teeth

and

the stinky grey smoke

between

his glasses and the rest of the world

i miss his little hat
on top of his little head
cooking up consciousness
word by word by word

…give thanks
i ever knew him to miss him


(rest in peace mikael ahadou)
i miss my friend
