In Memoriam Poem by Stephen Brian Brady

In Memoriam



the bypass at Gallows Lane

they briefly pause when the lights turn red
where 'in memoriam' for the long-time dead
in the shadow of the pub's white wall
there swings a dead geranium

caught and hooked on the gibbet's beam
and fraught and spooked 'til the lights go green
speed restricted they pull-away
just hanging-on for another day
