For two women who I knew who died last week.
Ronni Barrett and Millie Crozier
Farewell as you go beyond the veil. From time to time I feel the moment for travel has come.
On the day of leaving, cast a veilof humble sunset-glaze.
Let the time to leave
be quiet, still. Let no pompous memorials
build the hypnosis of grieving.
Let the lines of trees by the departure door
bestow the tranquil chanting of earth
on quiet heaps of leaves.
Let night’s soundless blessing slowly descend,
iridescent offerings of the seven stars. Tagore
