Today's Obituaries

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

Why is it that we read
gathering here like beasts
come to graze in morning
this dreary literary feast
can taste all too human

why is it so sweet
to taste this, each last breath
witnessing such dark grief
vicariously living each lonely death

we bystanders of grief
in silent awe are we
collective sigh we breathe
we are only here to read
