funeral poem

why so sad my lovely one?
you are beautiful and faded
weak-winged is song
braided and woven
glass-blower of time
be patient, life, when love is at the gate
when sea-winds pierced our solitudes
when the veil from the eyes is lifted
tell me
i see all human wits
when you come tonight
we break the glass whose sacred wine
