Especially Where You’re Concerned

.—on a thought of Maurice Sendak

I’ll sob my way to the grave
as the world disappears
one friend at a time
but especially where
you’re concerned,
the old man said

so there is a bit of joy
in the thought of leaving first
since I won’t have to sob
until the end of time

at the loss of you
