11 january

today the marsh

had a viking

funeral

all the

trees and all

the brush floated

along in their

frozen beds of

ice

the birds

sang in memoriam

and even from

behind the glass

we turned

our

heads away

i

wonder where you

are and whose

funeral you're

watching

redux of 5 january, riffing on the same theme, different ending. the real question is: will i ever write with punctuation again? the answer is likely no. here i go talking to myself again. goodnight.
