FUNEREAL

The priest droned on,
a short passage
from Micah had some
questioning prophecy.
Within the coffin
we suspect Agnes too
grew even more impatient,
wanting final rest,
wanting the party to begin,
hating the tears.
Later, with wine flowing,
somewhere in the gray sky
I imagine her knowing wink.
