Larrikin Mary
Lost
There is nothing where Aaron's hut once stood, nothing
tangible anyway just a sense of breathlessness and memory.
There is no monument
No marble or
granite marker
No chiselled words
Nothing to tell the world
That here
was an ending
The place where darkness overcame
And a friendship
crumbled
One that had seemed built of stone
Or at least that is what it
seemed
Before the world changed us all
There is no real truth
Only
hazy stories
Second hand thoughts
Nothing to explain
To give
understanding or peace
Two boys who became men
Forever linked in life
as in death
Tied one to the other
Only us ever to know
The reason, the
catalyst
Words and actions
Days, weeks and months
Then one
moment
Irreversible choice
unthinkable done
