Eulogies to the Writer

 Only few know the depth of power a writer holds

through the writer's words, names are revived

Lives long gone and forgotten are resurrected 

Oh Zora, you tell me of your Howard crush, who

sat through your illness

of the upper-class lady who married a geologist

of the defeat of your father

and the shrew who was your stepmother 

Shaw, you show me a world of Nicholas and Rainas

Dante, you teach me about Di Rimmi, Vigne and Monte Feltro

Wiwa, you talk to me about the Magistrate, arbitar of injustice

Oh Writer, you telepathic one 

who speak to our thoughts and create our visons

who immortalizes men and myth 

and are divinely blessed to sustain immortality

Time

 The revealer, arbiter, leveler of time you fall heavily, softly, slowly, you fall on us all we are all allotted portions of your rare gifts,  careful portions, spaces that seem to spawn and seem so small we crawl and walk, some do not and fade we walk and talk , but that portion is denied to orders we talk and comprehend, while others fly into the abyss of the void we know, grow and blossom, beautiful and strong, we think and worry  we worry and accept the fates, some broken, some fiery, some weary and jaded we see the signs of the passing days, on our faces, on our hair, in the eyes of children, who start the same circle, we wait and rest, our weary bones, tired legs and long for days of the past. our deaths are the comeuppance of living, we spent out time
