VARIATION ON A THEME: II
MITCHELL
(2006-2018)
I feel obliged to say
he wasn't my dog,
I wasn't his master,
he cut his own way,
and kept his own counsel,
a comrade from a different world,
he taught me things I thought I knew,
above all, a simple notion
expressed unspoken every day.
If he could, I think he'd say:
“Love is a nickname for devotion.”
