funeral poem

and my name is truthful
a thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
look out upon the stars, my love
i think it just splendid
when the wind works against us in the dark
no prey am i of poor thoughts
to clothe the fiery thought
sleep, gray brother of death
softly weeping
do not turn your head
i have seen the proudest stars
calm as that second summer
she must go back, she said
