Poems
Apr 2019
ring a ring o' rosies
the shoulders are the dampest,
soaked with exchanged comfort and bittersweet grief.
amidst the mourning there’s always the systematical process of the farewell –
the only way to guide us to the true end.
we do it with fire
to purify, to cleanse, to return to dust.
we kindle affections, relations, intentions,
and nurture a flame that always grows out of control,
leaving loss and lament to burn our hearts.
condolences blur into a soft hum,
nothing unites us in our differences but
sometimes it only takes the pathos of cremation to realize that
ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
