The mourner.

You lean forward to open the door

And there you are.

Caught in the briefest moment.



Sadness reflected in glass

Is a pane to far.

That mirror image of truth

That lets you truly see ,

Hiding nothing but showing all.



Feelings bounced back of the sands

Of your time

To this very moment.

You look old.

Old and done.



The black door closes

And your double is gone,

The car slowly drives off.



The cemetery is cold.

Reality is a pain to far.
