Wheat Ears – Selected Poems

Haste

Still too early to choose our new path

yet we headed to the open door

of the morgue into which

we’d identify our dead relatives as

people hid their money in worn out

mattresses, finger pointed at the scale,  

lone feather on one side of it

his heart on the other, when the speechless

Hades with no hesitation scribed  

accurate weight of his soul

representing size of coffin wherein

its eternal beauty would finally fit
