The low muffled sigh of a dark old lady as she chokes back tears,
handkerchief clenched to her open, dripping mouth; a dazed-eyed
boy trying to maintain his stance as manliness drains liquidly
down his quivering legs; a wife left on her own grunts trumpetlike
refusals of the most undeniable fact...death.A son, a father, a husband. As the coffin lid locks shut, a corpse.
. . . With grim finality, church bells announce
the service's end.
