conclusions

in your life
and in the moments
soon thereafter
you were called
brilliant
unstoppable
a force of
nature
by colleagues
and others
who knew you;

others said
you were insightful
and kind;
still others
who pushed
humanity
aside
tried, sadly,
to undo you;

having read as much
as there is to read,
having learned as much
as there is to know
(by this and
similarly
distant
means),
i've reached
my own conclusions:

that while my life
is still my own
i will forbear
in hurtful things
and in this way
remember you...
