Death Makes a Ripple


          "What was that?

He's gone.

          Oh no!

Oh yes.

          I didn't know...

Couldn't you tell?

          Well, now that you mention it...

The signs were all there.

          Yes, I see them now...

Now it's too late.

          but I was busy...

Busy with what?

          rowing as fast as I could!

Aren't we all?"


and they rock gently 
in silent reflection

remembering
in sunsets and clouds

until life's waters
lie still again.


in memory of g.w.c.
