Last Letter to Richard

It was only a day or so after the accident

Like crows, they came
opening and shutting
their black leather briefcases

Life insurance salesmen

                                       (what keen sense they’ve got)

Your soft body had not yet even
lost consciousness and yet
that seed of death must have
started smelling already
