    Eulogy

    Will you be forgotten?
    Will you go quietly
    To spare us the misery
    Of watching a slow demise?

    Will you be deserving of capitalized lines
    Shakily written on a Samsung
    A swansong of sorts?

    Will you make peace with history
    One that grinds to a halt
    In a poet's tragic hand?

    To all my good friends,
    Thank you for the words,
    So rarely have I been inspired
    To rise and rise again.


    RIP RB.
    can I kick it?

    Good lil bit. Felt the melancholy of it. I liked the recurring "Will you", it gave the piece structure and differentiated the first three stanzas from the last.

    The heart's still beating, barely.

    This is a solid tribute to RB, and I've always enjoyed your words Spokenoh. The repetition of the questions is a nice tactic, and I like the parallelism you've got going on comparing slow death of a person with the slow death of a site. It's a chill little piece. Cozy. Thanks for writing it.
    “Those whom life does not cure death will. The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not. Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.”
