Good poem about coping up with the loss of someone. Usually, when one writes a poem about the loss of somebody and here I am referring to the poems of Sylvia Path and Dylan Thomas (you must be knowing which of his poems I am talking about), one simply thinks of a memory or an incident that took place in the presence of a person. If I had to reconstruct such a poem, I'd use an expressive narrative and a kind of use of lesser lexicon since (and this happens with me) you do not expect to remember such words when someone beloved exits. But I enjoyed it. There's something unusual about the line 'a mid-day carress'. Usually, one says a good night hug or a hug in the morning (at least that's what I have always got) but mid-day caress gives it a more unique approach as if you're having a flashback about the idiosyncrasies of a person. When I read the poem, there was a certain inconsistency from the beginning to the end and your choice of words as well as the entire structure changes suddenly. Especially after 'indomitable spirit....cry and weep.....'. This is where the transition comes and you put mechanical changes into the poem hence. The first part might seem to be the 'classic' way of writing a poem and in the second part, you take a leap into a more 'contemporary' style. The expressionism changes suddenly. Or I don't know. Maybe you were trying to say that someone 'kicked the bucket' in the past but you are kind of, remembering him in the more recent time. Anyway, I like it.
