Ode to my aunt 12 January 2016

The Tuesday sunbeams

Hit the unlacquered wood

Of the coffin from behind

The parade of mourners

That follow the bearers six

Among whom my cousin &

His son

Who is wearing stylish pointy brown shoes

Underneath a blue suit

Today

Is for burying mothers

& aunts & friends & fathers

Childhood photos

Portraying a brother & sister

Father & aunt

Seen by brothers & sisters

Grieving

Feeling the loss

Are interlaced with happy

Snapshots of mountain holidays

Completed by dog

Son & daughter speak &

I am watching myself a mere

Eight months ago

Today

Wearing the same stylish

Pointy brown shoes &

Blue suit

The three rainbows that I see today

Kiss my face

Bless the dead

Still my tears
