At his memorial
how
pleasant we all are
dressed
nice
a
glass of wine
the
blue of the sky
these
shimmering women
this
sultry day
almost
as if
these
fine shirted men
this
striped awning
just
as if
on
a holiday
as
if he'll be in
the
Adirondacks
for
the summer
Bon Voyage!
how
pleasant
~ Ralph Murre
It may be too much, all this going on for the passing of one friend. I'd promise to stop soon, but I may not keep that promise. ~ RM

Fine poem and sketch. I also am having trouble stopping writing about him. I just put up a new blog that started out as a poem.
