ELEGY FOR DAVID

 ELEGY FOR DAVID RICHARD GREENWOLD


David, it took me so long to accept your death

Am so sorry we left you behind

Is it fair to say

Everything I do, I do for you?

Especially the orange juice - you called it "Gree"

I gulped down last night,

Seltzer water with Sister Ellen's oranges

She lives with me now

On windy days like today

And sunny ones 

Your photo adorns Aunt Ethel's 

coffee table, You sit on the

back porch, Izod striped shirt

and your handsome Greenwold face

What a love you were.

What a love!
