Colder Than Death

Karyn Indursky

Murky eyes brim
with tears of remorse
at not knowing the man
lying in the casket
as more than a grandfather
now paled and stiff as a board
when opportunities knocked at
her closed emotional door
while she ignored each one
to be with someone else
or do something else
than bond with a man
colder than death.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for my grandfathers, Sigmund Lutterschmidt and John Indursky, who passed away this year. May God bless them as much as they did my life and others.
