Forever Into Time

Came across a poem I wrote in 2006 on the occasion of my Aunt Sade's funeral, the third person to pass out of my life in less than a year... with the passing of Sarah last week, yet another piece of the past vanishes forever into time:

Today

I went to my

third funeral

in eleven months.

Each person gone,

closer than

the last;

each person gone,

a little piece

of my past

vanishes

and fades

forever

into time.
