Q) Requiem

My namesake died on a motorcycle
In 1979,
The usual statistic
In some forgotten file.

She wept and mourned his brief light
With a single tear in the darkness,
And sought solace
With an unspecified quantity of aspirin.
Too few it seems
To kill the body
While the soul passed on.

I fell in love
With a frail child,
Already dead,
And everyday
I weep
At her funeral.
