The Fading Of Funeral Flowers Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

The Fading Of Funeral Flowers



I'd rather remember
Only the colorful blossoms
Surrounding the departed

I'd rather remember
Only their characters & scent
And not some waxen faces
Straight out of the mold

I'd rather remember
The roses & the reds & the yellows
And the whites & the pinks

I'd rather forget
The thorns & the pricks & the angst
& the contradictions
Between existence & non-existence

And especially
the pallidness
of life
