In Memoriam

moments breath

in sheath

to clinch

the drench of sorrow

to savor the bright enclaves

of a passing living star.


moments breath

mind pace

to ruminate

the passing of a living star

in a planetary slate.


moments breath

to seek

to reek

to bestow

to remember

in a moment of sorrow

with great pride

a life in planetary sojourn

that has passed the planet earth

in stride

in courage

to bring justice, equality, and

health care with care for all.
