So much for a reader to delve into because it doesn't direct us, it empowers us to work it out for ourselves.
I'm still puzzling over "short funeral", and wonder if it's for a pet organised by mostly children and an adult or two.
If I'm wrong, the poem is still powerful enough to have delivered a meaningful feeling without blurting it out, and allowing me to have my own meaning.
I only wish political democracy was so democratic. ;-)

Like these parallel scenes.
In the midst of tea . . .
Hmmm... I don't think I get it. Never have been able to get poems, but it doesn't stop me from trying.
Fantastic haiku.

This is wonderful...as is most of the other stuff on this blog.
took my breath
How do you do it... incredible connections and these wonderful, poignant moments pinned down and captured.
I like this. Sad tale of a quick, funeral over so quickly, the grave-diggers are still supping/smoking?
It'll be slightly foggy too...
