The Body - An Urn

Some were with him at the hour and location
And confirm the joy and the beauty
Some recall the flowers and placement of finery
Possible futures glistened
Others recall a change
The darkness
The pall descending
Rejection
Sadness
The wounds
The silences
You have left

The whole sky to black
The whole earth to hell
You have left never to return
Somewhere there is heaven
And you shall find it
And I will wait
Forgotten a hundred times
