Memorial Stomp

The roses of Camarillo & mia familia
Who are they? A gathering
of pale northern eyes
& bad habits
here to honor the one no longer
among us

                              Out there the
                  traffic lights of Camarillo,
in here the flames of the Viking
funeral boat we
                    burn in our hearts

“His ashes will be placed in a
cribbage board urn”
