After the Funeral
Listen to poem:
After the Funeral
David J Walker
So,
I really am alone
Aren’t I?
I mean without you and
Those who filled in the
Space left out at home or
College
You let me in and
I read you like a book
Hungry for every word
Savoring the knowledge meant
To be spent on someone else’s life
Never anticipating the
Unplanned endings
Now lost trying to remember
The beginnings of a
Sad eulogy
Anyway,
The world is not the same and
Not just because you are gone
But because of the changes
You would not have to bear
These sad days remind me of
The rain softly falling like the tears
Of the first funeral as a pallbearer
