how quickly we forget the dead,
setting them aside,
their lives receding
not unlike each low tide,
the weight of grief
too much to bear for long.
there are bills to be paid,
work done, the dog must
be walked. there is food
on the stove, still warm.
we must sit down to eat,
turn the page of
the news, move on.
