Last Anthem, for Victims of the Coronavirus

Last Anthem

by Michael R. Burch

for victims of the coronavirus

Where you have gone are the shadows falling...

does memory pale

like a fossil in shale

...do you not hear me calling?

Where you have gone do the shadows lengthen...

does memory wane

with the absence of pain

...is silence at last your anthem?
