The Epitaph

The Epitaph

"She was strong and she coped"
They put it on her gravestone.
The dead never lie, so it must be true.


But.... she..... was:

Kicking, screaming
Out of control;
Alice down the rabbit hole.
Tumbling, twirling,
Life unfurling
Clutching and grabbing
As she went.


Like...shadows...they...passed
Over her head
Unseeing, unthinking, unaware

They put it on her gravestone.
"(Right till she hit the bottom),
She was strong and she coped".
The dead never lie, so it must be true.
