There’s Something About a Funeral
By Metacognizant
There’s something about a
funeral
to boggle the
skeptic
al mind
reaching out alone
in the stealthy manufactured
silence
.
No one dares to live
to stir the deep eternal jealousy
of the vividly moldering corpse.
When we have no
memory
anymore, then we shall have no death
of memory, no tears
for fallen
tombstone
s and defiled monuments
and that ivy we have propagated
which like all our offspring will
die
.
There’s something about a funeral
to catch
observant
breath
and hold it out of arm’s reach
where it cannot refresh a throbbing brain.
Distraught we gasp for life.
There’s something about a funeral
about the shiny
mechanistic
black
of the old
mourner
s and the creaking
hearse
to anchor itself in the back room
of every recollection
whose doors are not locked
to stimuli and thought.
And the funeral
party
eating bagels and cream cheese to console
bottomless guts with
sustenance
takes place in that room
even as the walls fall down into
ruin
.
