Fall 2004 - Volume 27, Number 1
|
Part I
One fine morning,
She left for Heaven.
We argued the intentionality
Of slipping from the bank,
But the river undoubtedly provided
An excellent means of transportation.
We didn't find the vessel
For over a week.
By which time the traveler
Had long escaped.
Part II
The pearly gates were not as she expected.
Saint Peter would not look her in the eye
As he explained:
The elect had already been chosen
(Or wheedled their way in)
And he had no vacancies.
So she joined the line of refugees
Waiting for a place below.
Part III
We tossed heavy flowers
To accompany her down.
They will perfume or labors
Or increase her Sisyphean load.
-By Pamela Mellen
