"Spring"

Cathy Rajewski


Cadaver hands look to thaw
In spring time's warming grasp,
A temporary repose,
One that will not last,
A powder for the undertaker
To rosy up the cheeks,
To feign the mask of life,
Measured out in weeks.
To comfort all the mourners,
The next life soon to cast,
Best enjoy it while you can,
This viewing will not last...
