Twilight At A Window

A funeral procession Only the dead person's Kith & Kin? No long hearse and they carry the cardboard casket on their bony shoulders towards the pauper's graveyard! And he sees through his shattered window Perhaps the poor man's wife cries behind And the children not aware of the mysterious death play on the road? A radical film maker with his Cinema team Takes pictures for his documentary film 'Poor man's rich funeral' And he gives few notes to the widow as a gratitude, She must have seen for the first time in her life That tricky big colored notes? [How could I have come so far (And always on such dark trails!) I must have traveled by the light Shinning from the faces of all those I have loved.] -Thomas McGrath, American,1916-1990 nimal dunuhinga
