The Morning of the Funeral

 

Mostly waiting. Coat and tie, Sunday shoes

Quiet conversation. How was your breakfast

Who’s driving the cousins to the airport later

Do the animals have water and food

 

He’s in a better place now. Have you got the readings

Sunlight slanting to the floor where the puppies sleep

Who’s going to unlock the church for the flowers

Who wants a breath mint. Are we ready to go

 

I’m glad we’re having a Mass. Fr. Ron is so good

Mostly waiting. Coat and tie, Sunday shoes
