PYRE for Michael "Old age should burn and rave at close of day." -Dylan Thomas Here now lies no one Who once was my son Who is no more But will always be. Oh stranger, linger not! Pass by this door. You too will see. All too soon Death will show its face. In its vast embrace I, as yet unwilling, will soon lie. And you, who willed my life, Do now rejoin me, Having married twice, Forever dead. [ 1992, original] June 2001, revision 43
