funeral poem

she was a beauty in the days
when night drifts along the streets of the city
the darkness rolls upward
lo! 'tis a gala night
i've won the race
looking beyond
there by the window in the old house
sleep, gray brother of death
at dawn, he said
birds against the april wind
they in the darkness gather and ask
night was black and drear
