Ed
Where are you now
Spread out before us
In the cosmic wind

The sound of your approach
Lingers everywhere
Keys jangling
The cacophony of your laughter
Heartbeat like a hummingbird

Loss in the universal processor
Your vacuum is felt daily
Where are you now?

With every breath,
Every existential byte
I miss your misanthropic voice
The sterling chrome of your technique

It didn’t have to be like this
Brothers innumerable
Idly trembling
At the absence of your being

Speak to us
From whatever far off dimension
You now inhabit
Speak
Speak
So that we may listen
