Funeral Blues


I have been thinking how far it is from remembering to forgetting.
It's strange.
It's utterly strange
to say goodbye
for one last time.


"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come."
