Heavier than Age

Morning heavier than age
leaves the birds weighted 
to the limbs, unable to break 
out in riotous morning song.

In the distance— a church bell,
people in black creeping around-
“Heaven.  Heaven,” in their ears
for the poor soul laying beneath.

They wish to hear only the sea.
The old sea. The new sea. Any sea— 
to catch their tears, drown their grief.
