Description: My father passed away unexpectedly in May.
The frost took the flowers last night
Once colorful, vibrant
Gone in an instant
Withered, cold to the touch
Your funeral flowers
Taken, transplanted, and watered with tears
Are untouched
Risen, sheltered by home
Absurdly more abundant
Than any foliage grasping to the ground
A strange
Comforting reminder
That you are now immortal
And more alive than even me

Funeral
Composed 4/20/16
Description: For Day 20 of NaPoWriMo. I tried to stick with what I did last year and write something befitting of this particular date.
Today I feel like I shriveled up and died
So give me a Viking funeral
Blow me away
And watch me fly
