The campus was quiet,
and people went to classes
and sat on the beach,
on a beautiful day.
But people spoke in whispers,
huddled and stared
and some women cried …

… the day after the boy that died.

His friends were absent
their grief too strong
oh, to handle
without their God
rumors were rampant,
all stories told,
and then the teller sighed …

… the day after the boy that died.

No words express
the lover of him
who now
is a puddle on the Way
their love will never end,
he said, I’ll see you again,
but he seems to have lied …

… the day after the boy that died.
