Magpie Tales #278
I'm ready
nicely healed black boots
nicely billowing black skirt
nicely fitting black top
and bell sleeves
tokens of my city life
my high value of
style
in motion
however
I'm ready for the next stage
I think
my sensible black hat
over sensible plaits
suggest that this is more
a business journey
rather than pleasure
and indeed
you are so right
I am on my way to
a funeral
out in my childhood
prairie country
the one I escaped
the one I ignored
the one that was
so meaningless to me
then
but now
my funeral
calls me back
to face old demons
and old values
and maybe find
a few angels
or two
however
as you can clearly see
I missed
my train
