shining corpse

sun shining and
the words are stuck deep
the body lies in front of us
we do not want to kneel and pray
it’s no longer who we want to remember
the bible is quoted to ease
pain of the departed
the journey in between
strange the way we look at death
sun still shining
and the words fade
as the color in the face to gray
a tear or two at the edge of the casket
words stuck deep within…
