Death As Civility Poem by Sara Militello
Death As Civility
Death As Civility
She wrote of death as a kindly civility
eerily appearing by day or by night;
horses the usual means transporting all
to a sepulchral destiny ~
Death clearly being the universal ubiquity,
it yet behooves us to utilize words euphemistically
when meeting this less than sanguine reality
lest the fact overwhelm the senses...
Yet the gentle horse frozen in time becomes
the dauntless bearer which carries all
to an uncertain destiny thought to be somewhere
between fire and a snow covered mound
where courses an airy ennui...

Well, now that I'm not looking for it, I find a place where I can thank you for your comment way back on 7/5/26. I'm so confused right now but today, I seem to have been trying to thank you for commenting on my poem The Best Left. So thank you for that comment. I have read some of your poems and commented, but am too behind on responding to e-mails, having been in hospital for four days since July 19th, that I could not read more of them. I seem to have forgotten how to navigate this site but I trust I will get it all back as soon as the meds I was given recede from my system. I had an episode of A-fib but I'm fine now.
