Somewhat cold
The body of my formerly huge brother
Was right there in that small urn
On that fancy table in front of us.
A small chapel at the cemetary
Can't say I had strong feelings
As I never could really relate
To my older brother
Afterwards the family
And a few of his friends
Gathered at some restaurant.
I never even spoke to the new widow.

From Day One he knew he wanted to be a leader, a teacher. He was. Also a school director. From Day One I never knew what I wanted to do in my life. I still don't know.

It's interesting in how many of us choose to be cremated and the remains are now more normally accepted as "oh yeah, that's so and so". What I did find interesting is that some sibling relationships may not always carry that closeness or proximity, as sampled by that last line.
Nice work.
