Let us remember
Let us remember
The living
Overlooked as we amass
The dead
And assign them a value
Richer than dollars
Shapelier than gravestones
More memorable than
Whatever it is
We drop off to sleep
Forgetting
6/30-7/4/10
Guilt
How painful
Not to have suffered
Left in comfort
To seethe with resentment
Watching the bodies
Of those oh so fortunate
Sufferers
Float by
7/4/10
