AN EVENT (Dedicated to my brother Bill Burns)
The day
became
overcast,

raindrops
slipped
from the
sky.

The cars
moved
slowly

toward
their
destination

I
traveled
in
silence

watching
the events
of the day
unfold.

Goodbys
were
silently
whispered

I felt
your
nearness

a flag
was
neatly
folded,

placed
in
waiting
arms,

kissing
it
I bowed
my heart.
