define yourself again
tear off whatever face you are wearing
show your true colors to the world
be happy even through torture
realize it is not only you suffering
you are isolated but not alone
try not to cry all day
spring flowers will come right after the snow
close to his birthday
try to appreciate them
without him writing about them
you know he always remembered
after asking for the names of flowers and trees
embrace his poetry
until you are gone
he will be with you through
every line
