POSTHUMOUS DEBUT
In last night’s dream my brother
Appears months belatedly
For the first time since his death.
From a party of strangers
All of whom smile kindly as
Tho we are friends-to-be:
“Who is he?” one wants to know.
I say to them: “That’s my Bro!”
Would an aura of love be withheld
Had this man been in their lives?
“His name is Jerry Case.”
Any ills the skies will erase,
For this is what’s left to know:
“In many ways he’s my hero.”
Closure
I hasten to sit at his side
Among the bereft ones who smile…
