Window light



Window light envelopes
the metal coffin, white,
in front of the altar, leaving
minds in darkness, and hearts.
Brain synapses fail to connect,
the flow of blood constricts.
We remain, left with only
the window light enveloping
the metal coffin, white,
in front of the altar.

    Even in death, the light of Christ shines . . .
    Beautiful, Glynn!

    lift the coffin
    heft
    the load of bones
    heavy somber
    numb
    undone by grief
    in grief
    undone
