funeral poem

in your arms was still delight
roses and gold
one by one, like leaves from a tree
now that i have cooled to you
and still they walked on
when the veil from the eyes is lifted
those on the top say they know you, earth-they are liars
there by the window in the old house
my mother taught me that every night
