The Dearly Departed...... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Dearly Departed......



when we were children
papa makes an offering

in the altar, some food,
lighted candles, a bottle

of wine, some fruits,
and a cigar, and for the


women, some desserts, and
chocolates and roses,

and then the prayer leader
hired by mama, arrives and

then we all kneel down to
pray for our dearly departed.
