I'd have put my lips to hers in a final taste of the sun on days George's old Ford was broken down again and Iambe was tired of toil then decided to play with me along the banks of the creek But the casket was closed and so was I as I sat in the back next to the door hoping to escape before I had to look Jake in the eye or See Dillon cry "Amen" the preacher said as he in dark suit finished praying to a God Iambe had doubted with laughter and debated angrily after a couple of Jack's I rose quietly and stepped towards the door knowing my lips now were dry and the cracks might never heal I didn't need Clark's Road now and I didn't need to know the first shovel full of dirt thrown on her would echo off the bluff down by Johnson's creek I had enough echoes and the empty inside left too much room for them to bounce around haunting me with the lonely sound of gone |

Ron~ I almost didn't read this b/c the title contains the word "funeral". I am not sure why I avoid everything surrounding death but I do and have since my first "funeral". However, I swallowed hard, and read... I am glad I did. Susan |

Sunshine... your welcome... Mikey.. lol.. saying I need to read it and see how it is truly done??? ( just kidding) I have read some of faulkner's work, but it has been years. Perhaps I need to dust him off the book shelf and revisit... |
