Still
Still
It is still. It met with
death so slowly,
so gradually, so
barely noticeably.
Fading finally, out of its
necessary,right now
existence, there was
no one to be left behind.
There was no one
left to touch this grief.
We are alone.
We have no one, you know,
to share deep mourning with.
Velvet blackness cloaks
the funeral night, night which
grieves starless.
