On reading Richard's Guernica

Richard, I want to ask you about those words -

Where did you find them?

I need to walk to the place where you found your poem -

Perhaps then I will fully understand what you saw -

There are meanings there -

A moment when writing the poem, you were more than Richard - 

I  am haunted by what you wrote - 

Those last lines most of all - 

The landfall of my last breath -

Infinite nows -

This poem is your elegy - 

The angels will have heard it -
