Remembering KF - passed away August 2007
On a boat abroad - only age 24
But as in the title -
Did he fall or was he pushed?
It's said he was in an argument that day
But we won't know the real cause
It's a mystery
It's sad for poor KF
He would only have been aged 43 this year (2026)
I didn't know KF that well
He was a work experience person
At my place of employment
I overdid it at the funeral
Trying to befriend some relatives, but got snubbed
I shouldn't have been so 'familiar' or 'jolly'
A lovely service
But then a huge outpouring of grief
An atmosphere of blackness
One of the 'worst' I've ever experienced
Did they all really believe
What was said and sung in the Christian funeral service?
*** RIP, KF. ***

- Comment from author about the poem: I had something daft, but it really fits in for tomorrow, the 'anniversary' date of it. here's something more distressing, dark maybe. RIP KF, passed away 25.08.2007.

A dark and sad write of an accident, suicide, murder? Well written
Thank you SB. We would like to think it was a tragic accident, but no one knows.
You are most welcome Orchi
Its a tragedy either way.A fascinating inquiry.Made me think
Thank you D. On a lighter note, what about Humpty Dumpty re: the title of this poem?! lol.
What I most admire about KF, indeed it may have been the whole point of his existence (I didn’t know him, so don’t…) was that his death bought out a seriousness in you I don’t think I’ve witnessed before. Your cover is blown, mate.
Thank you D. Yes, I was serious for, oh, 5 seconds in June, was it?! That's my serious allocation for a year. Other times I'm batty and nutty as Sir Orchi NS. lol.
You have certainly cornered the market, Orchi.😜
Ohh, back soon - to ramblings, nonsense, and all sorts of NS stuff! lol.
Oh my. What a tribute🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you A.
Most welcome O.
Orchi, this is a deeply moving remembrance. The uncertainty makes the loss even harder to carry...and the tension between the service and the devastation surrounding it lands heavily. Your honesty about your own place in that day makes this especially human. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. If this makes any difference - the mourners were from a rather 'common' area of town. I'm being snobbish now. Doh!
