Lamp

Your shadow returns
In pearled tinges to calm wound’s ache---
Still, I grieve for death
 When final lamp of midnight fades

Just attended the funeral of a 90 year old man with sundowner's yesterday. I envision his wife awaking this morning, hearing his normal cry, "What's for breakfast?" I ponder her response to grief balanced by the relief she feels. Congrats on your piece! Kudos on your award, Carly.
