the ambivalent mourners

bitter
by the past. 
it's a difficult time
with
funerals.
siblings, and friends.
who comes
to show
respect?
who appears out of
the woodwork
decades
lost in their own lives
having never
reached out.
who
remembers the good,
who's
in tears.
no grief is the same,
but
ambivalence
to death
is.
