Beyond the mourning of bereavement
Today marks fourth anniversary of tragic deaths
an aching breaking heart – mine
remembers four extinguished breaths.
(dashed – not while riding off
in a white horse open sleigh,
but upon learning untimely demise
regarding prosperous family, whose small
plane crashed August 8, 2019.
They lived ~ three doors down from us
farther than one can toss a Buffalo nickelback.)
