The Funeral
1 07 2008Walking out I count the 25 steps it takes to reach the tree
I stand there for a few minutes taking in the scene
Tears and wails, the sorrow hits you like high tide
it’s another 40 steps until I’m part of the crowd
another 2 to say my goodbye.
I pitch my shovel in, dirt in my hands
I pick it up pass it on.
I walk away and weep
It’s 80 steps to make it back to the car
I sit in the back seat thinking
Solomon would trade his diamonds to know
Solomon would trade his diamonds for snow.
