Last Anthem, For Victims of the Coronavirus
Last Anthem
by Michael R. Burch
for victims of the coronavirus
Where you have gone are the shadows falling...
does memory pale
like a fossil in shale
...do you not hear me calling?
Where you have gone do the shadows lengthen...
does memory wane
with the absence of pain
...is silence at last your anthem?
