another death…
a celebration of life
gliding past in videos and photographs
of happier times when life was full
a black wool suit for a winters passing
a silk linen blend for warm weathers mourning
hanging in my closet never wanting to be worn
i’ve had them both for years, through too many a tear
droplets avowing the fabric of a life
i’ll slip it on again as my fingers caress
the past fibers of my grief
entwined throughout each thread
tears plummet onto my funeral suit once more
as I silently wonder how much further pain
my funeral suit can bear

this is stunning – thank you
Coming from you, that means a lot. I humbly thank you.
