His funeral
unattended
His pallbearers
—the written word
His gravesite
an ashen memory
His legacy
—in futures heard
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
Embalming
your memory
the funeral
dragged on
Returning
the remnants
that pain
had prolonged
The pallbearers
stationed
each side
of the grave
A grieving
reminder
that time
— had enslaved
(Dreamsleep: February, 2025)
The end of a life
And the last of a line
None there to mourn her
But the priest and the pallbearers
(and the crows in the trees)
No tears for her passing
Only rain and howling wind
Cineres cineribus, pulverem pulveri
For Deb’s Bilingual contest
*Ashes to ashes, dust to dust/Cineres cineribus, pulverem pulveri
Summer’s Fall
Slow bleeding trees stand,
pallbearers to a failing Summer’s
last warm, moist breath.
Cold moon casts shadows into
early darkness, on flowers shivering
in chilling soil. Thus does Autumn’s
beauty shield us from our pain.

Stop the myth that I do live
- send the mourners by
- set them down in rows of ten
with pallbearers on every side
But tell them that though I'm still
and betterI than they
endure the motion in the ground
or gossip in the air
Arrest the myth that I am dead
The Trojan at the door!
The charger - full of headlines knock
Humanity - how deceitful you are.
They dwell
In regions dark beneath the surface of the Earth.
Where nowt of Adam walk or venture breath for fear
Of Satan and his ghastly peers.
The same who with delight had raised a million cheers
When Eve our source had sorely sought her pleasure
From that fatal tree
And on her ears fell stern cries of God
Be gone with ye.
They watch Earths
Faltering pallbearers of mediocrity and wait to strike.
Fanatical Enforcement of the Law
By Elton Camp
Because it was parked illegally on the street,
This vehicle with the zealous cop did meet
If anyone dares to use the “No Parking” zone,
When he comes back, then his car will be gone
That it was a hearse and a funeral underway
Doesn’t matter for, “The law all must obey”
The pallbearers brought the casket out the door
But the hearse wasn’t parked there anymore
Homemade Dumplings
Now watch this she would say my mother taught me this
And her mother taught her you might not get another chance
Everythings in the book I did change the pallbearers for you
Recently made it easier for you thanks mom that’s really kind
Of you was it 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 mom? Flour to eggs I gotta keep it
Simple in my head you know I gotta look at that book one day
Where did you say you kept it again?

How can you talk to the moon
when the trees were watching ?
It was her last sojourn
before boarding the illegal
traffic of clouds.
Pallbearers were always ready
to do something
religious like carrying
a god to the temple. I was not
sure it was midnight syndrome
of apoplexy.
Deep into the blue eyes
lies the inconceivable page
of unprinted book of a
failed attempt to harness
the darkness for a connection to unknown.

A masterful dilemma;
Did I mention;
The contention;
Dead overdressed pallbearers;
6 figures;
Un moving vigour;
Did I mention;
Unloved catfished;
Make a wish;
Counterfit;
The dead bury the dead;
Harness harvesting bread;
Only six guest witness;
Last super calls;
Dinner is now served;
Where is the host;
Conducting a roast?
This contention a...
Masterful dilemma;

written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2020
Slipping from this flesh it's bones as blood
Nothing and nobody His child, within her world
Of glamour, glitter, super stars and fame; power games
Ancient gladiators their off spring these red carpet queens ivory table
Kings vote for me ? Phantasmagoria's, kaleidoscopic dreams Pluto's papacy
Pandora's pallbearers trip wire caskets bring it on, krimson kong: lightning strikes....
The blink of an eye; crumbling towers with your power black roses bloom in blue carousel pews.
