In funereal procession
I gaze through a haze while
The days file away
Marching in dirge style
Nights fall like wounded soldiers they
Form orderly crosses
Marking cemetery rows . . . more

Loving in her wren-like narrowness,
Chided without humour
With her hawk-like tongue,
The wide paths of her short years.

Cherished(for Muni)
You catch my tears
And drink them
Transmute to mirth
You feed me
How is it in four days, four meals
You find me?
Where near forty years
The fathers four failed . . . more

My beloved father
Died gracefully,
After suffering terribly
From cancer for two years.

To think I almost missed it, walking by
In mud that slurped and suckled at my shoes;
I thought it just a pile of wilted leaves
Discarded from some other recent loss.

Though Christmas will be hard

You stop to cry,
But never do you see me.

But you never even notice me.
I'm crying too,

To the window
For better light
Not expecting

Reading between
The lines
Holding breath
