Companion poem for chapter 2 of the R.M. Dolin novel, "Trophic Cascade"
Read original poem, read chapter
Friendships are fleeting,
souls passing through
a moment briefly in sync
with a world we can't control.
How do people bond
when the goal is more
than a simple hello?
Love should last forever
even when no one's left
who can commit
to the required sacrifice.
Perhaps a couple of words
of Spanish will do,
who can say for sure,
“puedo te amo por favor,”
or is that beyond being reasonable?
Abandoned roads are
the most difficult to traverse,
which is why
it is wise
to have many friends.
From the R.M. Dolin novel, “Trophic Cascade.” Armando and Marcos go to Miguel’s ranch to find out what happened to the girl that was killed and to learn as much as they can about Miguel’s operation for future reference.
