The Whelan Funeral Home
by Don Matley
An A/C in a funeral home?
That's cool
Poe lamps at the door
The 5:15; whistling down the train he need not catch
Going home but not really
Flowers about,red,mauve
Grass, little trees, the Hebrides
Barred windows?
Get up and bar the door!
None will escape
Red bricks, potted plants, potted people
Keep on Whelan.
