A few days before the outbreak
of the Covid-19, I took
a stroll with him by the sea.
It was 20 01 2020
Myself and he by the light
The golden light of the beautiful Colombo sunset
Many danced in the crowded bar by the sea
We spoke about the weather, modern love and politics.
As the winds of the sea blew stronger.
His eyes like the Red Kite
And I know he watches me and I am conscious
We continued to speak of beautiful weather.
It's time to go
Myself and he by the light
It is dark around the sea with much louder music of Ellie
We wanted to see the sea from the room.
As waves gushed in us.
We loved the waves too much
He went on to the brown land, then rolling in the seaward
Made way down the beach, alighting for a moment
and several moments then bobbing out in the midst of wetness.
