Julian Spitzer RIP 25/1/2012

The line between life and death

is thinner than any hair

and deeper than any chasm,

as thin and deep

as the crescent moon he didn't see tonight,

and as close and far away.

If life and death are as one

as full and crescent moon

then all is well. But alas,

this is a thought I cannot believe.

He is gone. What remains

inside all who knew him

are his shadows

both bright and black,

and as close and as far away

as the ones on the crescent moon.

Folding and unfolding, eventually,

we will join him in the modular origami

of oblivion.
