Ferry Ride

 

One coin for a passage

laid against the tongue

in the silence of mourning

 

The rhythm of the dirge,

an echo of the River Styx

One coin for a passage

 

A glint of silver in the sun

payment for the ferryman

laid against the tongue

 

Honouring rite and ritual

while the living move onward

in the silence of mourning
