Kansas City Funerary (Leah Marie, 1987-2018)

 

flew fly fling high cry cry
        c r y   crying  cr'eye eye
     dripping drops

to Kansas City         to see her
                                  to see her
                                  to see her           one last time,
                                                    the final time,
                                               one final time,
                                           the last time................

she died            an hour before        eye landed

my daughter, dead, in bed, in hospice-house,
an
hour alone with her & wailing over her absolute silence.......
yellow jaundiced skin, so cool to touch, unmoving, ravaged
                           by drink      at    31 years      old.

My little girl                  is gone   gone       gone         for-ever....

now, one week later,
                  alone in a Berkely,* CA hotel room.......
                                                        waiting for my son.



* A habitational surname​ from the Old English words beorce
                              léah
               meaning birch lea.
