Meredith lives on through two loving sons,
a burden of a husband,
and her dear Senior--
Junior having been humanely
pushed to “pass on,”
so that someone may comfort her
as she greets the drunk that was Pappy
at those pearly—well…
in the afterlife.
Her co-workers,
Denise, Eileen, and Gertrude,
knew Meredith best.
She came in every morning
with…something to say,
always willing to share
the very strong smell of her chili lunch.
Denise, Eileen, and Gertrude,
along with all other mourners in attendance today,
are encouraged to contribute to the offering basket.
Dying is costly.
Our dear Meredith left us too soon.
But she departed from this world with a smile,
knowing that the son-of-a-bitch who cut her off
would be joining her in Hell.
Author Bio:
Virgil Saunders is Maryland native with a passion for language and literature. While Virgil has been writing since childhood, it was not until the University of Maryland's Jimenez-Porter Writers’ House came calling that they were exposed to what creation could be. Exposure to various forms of life through the work of journalism has led Virgil to a more realistic sense of storytelling on subjects such as Rwanda and the world of retail. A thirst for learning new languages is only one aspect of Virgil’s appreciation of the art of words through syntax and sound. And indeed it is an interest that has led to many travels. Drawing on life spent in the Washington, D.C. area, Montreal and France, they have crafted poetry published in NEW MAPS and Blackberry: A Magazine, with much more going towards the re-telling of world events.
