Red, yellow, and 
green lights. 
Ambulances storming across. 
White, brown, and 
black faces seen 
through the tinted windows. 
White, pink, and 
green uniforms. 
A bold plus sign, the hope against loss. 
 
Pale grey and 
white faces. 
Black and white clothes 
mixing friends and foes. 
Timber caskets owing to the soil a soul. 
The drivers of hearses paid 
and they speed along. 
 
Redness in the faces wetted 
by the fall of the eyes. 
The grave rests under covers 
where love once lied. 
 
The labor pushes boulders 
as the crane cries. 
The bird fattens up on its nest 
for its chicks to one day fly. 
The can opener breaks on the second try. 
 
The spirit ascends with the angels soaring high.
