Belfast Blues

(To the man, Yasha)

I love to learn your signs
When you were coughing
And your son was smiling

I love to talk with your signs
When you were drunk
After your mom's funeral

I love to hear your signs
Whenever I was in love
And you were far from mine

I love to see your signs
All the times that I was blue
Sad or alone

I love to smell your signs
When you were happy
Under a shinny bright sky

I love to have your signs
When we said goodbye
And went to our side

I love to be your signs
When I will bury you
With lots of flowers
And a barrel of wine

I love to fade in your signs
Though I know there is no end
If I want to be in your mind
