Kyrie

Written on the 27th anniversary of my brother Manny's death, Oct. 13, 1976. He was only 20 years old. Text:
You asked for my sardines and bread;
Why did you leave so soon?
So much that should've been said;
Why did you leave so soon?
They shut the box-you were inside;
Why did you leave so soon?
A lonely journey-the final ride;
Why did you leave so soon?
Deprived of love, deprived of voice;
Why did you leave so soon?
Deprived of life-the final choice;
Why did you leave so soon?
My friend and brother, and so much more;
Why did you leave so soon?
Forever gone through the hallowed door;
Why did you leave so soon?
