Finals (By K.J. Coombe) Poem by Roy Ballard

Finals (By K.J. Coombe)



Heavy pennies on his eyelids please
We think he's dead;
but if he wakes
He will not want to see again
A single scene of what he's seen before.

So bend across his cold and silent stare
And close his eyes
To let him disengage
And breathe at last
His final blind goodbyes
