Immediately After the Funeral


Immediately After the Funeral

       By Dugless (Dutchy) Riskmore

                death defies the highest heights
                        shrinks not from cliff or plane
                        it likes the way its surprise bites
                        and calls all life inane
                        we take for granted green and go
                        the like of which nothing comes near
                        we eat we reap we plant and sow
and then death takes us where no thing can grow


When Aunty Patty died this June I had reason to think back ten years.
