"Eyes Squinting"...

" Eyes Squinting "...

Eyes squinting
seeking our calling
honoring and restoring
community dignity

shepherding
the bereaved
coaxing memories
like eyelidded history

tracing fingers
all in keeping
with routes
going home

via burgundy ropes
as nostalgia and hope
shown solely in repose
enclosed by a rose...
