No Hang-ups Here

John D Robinson

Mostly
I feel uncomfortable and
irritated when walking
amongst the living
but
sitting amongst the
dead I feel instantly
and strangely at
ease and comfortable;
there are no hang-ups
here,
what went wrong or
bad in life remains
and what was good
and beautiful in
life also remains,
there are no hang-ups
here,
no competition,
rich or poor
lucky or unlucky
in life;
all are equal again;
before me are 2 headstones,
2 guys who barely
made it into
their 50’s
but both were sons,
husbands and fathers
and grandfathers;
and of course I think of my
encroaching finality
and I
feel indifferent;
the 2 graves are
adorned with clay
and porcelain figures
of fairy’s and cherubs
and buddha’s and angels
and plaques of
sentimental words and
plastic flowers and
cheap solar lighting and
necklaces and a
quietness, there are
no hang-ups here,
it has all be done.
