Memory
I used to think there was plenty of time
but the clock ticked surreptitiously
and my universe changed in an instant.
And like stars that blast themselves into oblivion
in their relentless search for sustenance
I subject myself to it
every now and then.
I listen to the music
and in my mind I am again
sitting on the cold hard pew
at his funeral.
I weep.
The waters cleanse.
