among the mourners
two elderly men shake hands
still aliveโ hurrah!

death has its upside
no worries of outliving
your retirement

trains and their whistles
so late at nightโ ghosts of ones

a bonfire in the sun
ends as we began

from reclaimed clay
potters shape their vessels
thus life continues

my doctorโs serious
ignores my sense of humor
Iโm the joking dead

they hear my pleading
each generation of deer
grants me one more spring

calling me by a nickname
last heard in high school

cat wants snuggling
rubs her head on mine
bed partners life makes

her dead motherโs dress
swaying to a blues tempo
clothesline gently rocks

grinding prayer beadsโ

a day to not drive
a day for quiet
run silent, run deep

coffee, cats, a place
to read and be read–
what else can life give

where grasses grow best
green, thick, lush and tall
the mass graves are there
