on the way to next world

In memory of Sy Tabin

Where do we go
when the air of life
departs from mortals;
think positive
life is only a moment
when encasings
finally relax
to surround sounds
moments of subdued whimpers
and a child's giggle
in the next life
when sorrow is unknown

where do we go
when we are too big
to fit lowered doorways
for rabbit messengers

to a tea party
in the heart of a tree
to a talking kettle
pouring welcoming tea
when the air of life
exits hastily..

We go to no end
and heaven knows from
unreal beginnings
a rib here
a ripe apple there
stroll through fig leaf gardens;
for the fear of departure
why should one worry so..

one dies thousands of times
while living
suffers in silence
while shouting
no ending is too sad
in fleeting times
by comparison.

Sy would want us
to think of
fresh beginnings
