She’d kept the pewter dusted and displayed
since 1969.

She had been hard on him, had forgiven little,
but felt much closer now.

Mom's Eulogy
It's already hard enough to say anything accurately
without further obfuscating and camouflaging the soul.
The faces in the funeral pews are impassive, impatient

Names
Names intrigue me the most.
Even mine does!
Come to think of it,
I was named even before I knew
About it.
Later, I was cleverly consoled -
What is in a name?
Now I know,
How names manoeuvre life.
I choose not to...

What if I have to live again—
Reborn in the bone-thin hush of grief,
A jawbone grinding air,
My love trailing like a torn dress through corridors
Of someone else's dreams.
You cheated with a mirror.
