(Funer-unreal)


They brought you home,
little one
A bittersweet thing
because you could not stay

You lie waiting, patiently
For the final good-bye
Outside my window
I wondered why
Us...

Solemn faces
friends good graces
Going places
In a row

Surreal

We arrived
Were the sleeping slept
Oblivious to our presence
And yours
My quiet little one

So many preparations
So many decisions
So many tears
So many prayers
And still we were
Unprepared
For the reality
Unprepared
For how small
Your bed
Unprepared
For the finality
Uprepared,
My steps faltered

Grave.


Sunkissed.
