Young Mourners

Young Mourners say goodbye
to family members that they
never knew or briefly met,
bewildered and wondering
why they were separated
by death,
Experiencing life as if it were
a movie already begun,
Some are perennially filled
with grief and disbelief,
reminiscing how they could
go on with puzzles of their
lives missing, while living
in a fish bowl.
