words of elegy tightly woven
into microphone
remembrance of life lived well
and she’s off to the side
hands and arms speaking
in graceful gesture
sculpting the
air
to resemble a
man gone too soon
grief for
brief gift of kindness
until he stands revealed
eyes smiling through graying beard
and tears come
unbidden
blurring sight
seeing signer’s gentle eyes
perform a benediction
