Life After Death
life after death is silent
as in a cemetery
mourners came and went
dirge and elegy are gone
death does not hear
even a silent prayer
death does not see
even the dark underground
when death does speak
you do not hear
when death does smile
you do not see
a song of those who are no more
cannot be sung
the singer of another world
cannot be seen
life is not a drama
world is not a stage
the theater is empty
in a drunken town

Memorial To D.C.
(Vassar College, 1918)
O, loveliest throat of all sweet throats,
Where now no more the music is,
With hands that wrote you little notes
I write you little elegies!

War
Nobody knows
the death of
somebody
war treads on
a path where
warriors carry
the bones of
their own dreams
when announcements
of revenge are made
to settle what only
wisdom and dialogue could
an infant grips her mother's breast
young lad assures his beloved
that they are not coming for them
And
the ghosts of ancient knights sing
elegies for the new participants

Some things that fly there be
89
Some things that fly there be—
Birds—Hours—the Bumblebee—
Of these no Elegy.
Some things that stay there be—
Grief—Hills—Eternity—
Nor this behooveth me.
There are that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the Riddle lies!
Emily Dickinson
