The Painting - Sophie Zelmani

So who wants the painting
The last he was making
The colors the brushes
He left on the table
All boxes he carved
And his little tools
Who's gonna bring
The papers together
Where he wrote his stories
Yes he could have been a writer
The old typewriter
To whom will it go
Who'll keep the scrapbooks
He had one and another
With photos and cuttings
Of me and of others
He could sit for hours
Whole nights too
Still there are moments
When I'm back there beside you
You had a new room
I thought it might suit you
I would have lingered
If I had known
My deepest respect to
This humble generation
But the ones that've been with us
They leave such a silence
He had a good run
Yes he told us so
