A SON UNEXPECTEDLY PASSES
an intention not explained,
of an action designed
to focus on a plight;
but never articulated why.
and as the bell tower clangours,
and olde bones neath shallow graves,
groan under weight
of another who comes before their time,
and many cried ‘Oh Why!’
an intention not explained,
of a son unexpectedly
passes before his moment and in his prime,
and a family cried.
