Returning From A Memorial Service 

His upside down cactus head 
prompts me to seek the sky 
below in his chest.
Today it remains overcast.
The clouds cling to their grief.

We saunter towards the lake
caged by the authorities 
after it took a child.

Anything can happen now,
but nothing will 
because we are in a pair.
