A Memorial Poem
NAMES
It's that time of year -
the holy time -
when we formally -
communally -
remember -
and say the names aloud -
of those -
no longer with us -
I'm thinking -
this year -
of the names -
how long it would take -
to read them aloud -
so many people gone -
everywhere -
in the newspaper -
I say the names aloud -
of people I don't know -
and yet -
feel the need to say their names -
aloud -
Ida -
Earl -
Alfreda -
Marvin -
Robert -
Shirley -
Cornelius -
Verlina -
and Casey -
Aloud -
Giving momentary substance.
-in memory-
