We sat in rows listening to your poems being read at your funeral. I heard them as you would have read them. He's not dead, he could never die, I said to myself. This stuff's not for funerals, whoever you are, reading from the pulpit in a priest's garb. You are dead wrong, the man still is with us, bleating his lines. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FUNERAL SERMON by ANDREW HUDGINS RETURN FROM DELHI by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE SCATTERING OF EVAN JONES'S ASHES by GALWAY KINNELL BROWNING'S FUNERAL by H.
