White Funeral
sitting alone with nowhere to go
ignoring the static from the radio
that interrupts my favorite song
haven’t loved it in so long
some say love is a foolish thing
and although not in all cases
i can’t help but agree
with the smarter majority
so many weddings
just white funerals
a hand to hold
for the rest of her life
open to the bliss
and the carelessness
be careful, more careful
does it still feel right
i’ll apologize in all the places
where i frowned at all the smiling faces
i just wonder if that will be me
with a wedding dress and a history
so much thought in an august moment
i’m living in my favorite season
but winter’s here, and taking control
as we let the rest of our days unfold
so many weddings
just white funerals
someone she barely knows
becomes her life
open to neglect
and disrespect
that comes with the one
she loved last night
i think of someone i know
better than anyone
i think i’ll be more optomistic
when this is done
can’t help but to think
that my white funeral
won’t be a funeral at all
because i know him
she doesn’t know him
so many weddings
just white funerals
but i’m so glad
that won’t be mine
open to his
fuffilled promises
he knows who i am
we’ll be fine
the white funeral is over
the bride’s been burried
in her own mistake

Bedside Viduals For Who?
bedside given viduals
for dead or dying
which comforts most?
deathwatch by windows
love watch by night
with a final kiss good night
in order to help
beloved deceased
you must raise
your deceased
from death
soul delivered
funerals for family friends
to pay public last respects
funerals are for the living
their shaking hands
oft in darkness held
in fear solemn viduals
love for the living
still life possibilities clinging
dead feel nothing

I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.

I'm more interested in the meaning of funerals and the mourning that people do. It's not a retail experience. It's an existential one.

They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days.

These funerals always appear to me the more indecent in a populous city, from the total indifference of the beholders, and the perfect unconcern with which they are beheld.

The pain of the blow
An old couple made a strange vow
That their son’s wife be ever barred
From taking part in their funerals.
So heavy was the blow she’s hurled.

Grief is unlearned
Funerals are thinly attended.
Mourning is shallow and for a day.
Death comes as a relief to inmates.
Man has earned money and unlearned grief.

Guests And Mourners
Marriage and funerals
guests and mourners
so interchangeable
the banter and levity
remains the same
as the tired old suits
and dresses
all playing the game.

Their uses
Kith and kin are there to make their presence
In the marriages and the funerals held.
Sons and daughters are stationed to conduct
The funeral and quarrel over their shares.

We need to ensure that the price of funerals is within reach of low-income earners. Better protection for consumers from unscrupulous operators and an effective system to address complaints ... is also required.

A strange notion
Attending funerals,
I don’t think it’ll happen to me.
Witnessing accidents,
I don’t think it’ll happen to me.
With such solid notions,
Each one lives hopefully till death.
