The Empty Hourglass

Kurt Philip Behm

Embalming

your memory

the funeral

dragged on

Returning

the remnants

that pain

had prolonged

 

The pallbearers

stationed

each side

of the grave

A grieving

reminder

that time

— had enslaved

    Once again masterfully crafted the blend of imagery and metaphor in such nice rhyme
