Disposition
There, face to face
with my cousin Antony
who we buried yesterday
no words spoken
just wrinkled thoughts
solitude describing meaning
of comma, ultimate right of time
and its inexorable past tense.
Suddenly Antony seemed
ready to get up from his
coffin as if he wished
to go and sit by the sidewalk.
Where else could he go?
Dead only follow
the downward path and I
finally understood that
when dealing with the dead
one, naked from the waist
down, balances on a tightrope
