Before the Wake

After У гроба (“Beside the Bier”, 1904) by
Russian Symbolist poet, Innokenty Annensky (1855-1909)

Mirrors gleam whitely in an
Apartment swept and clean.
Stately as a steed under a 
Fly sheet stands the grand piano.

During visiting hours yesterday,
Death left the doors wide open.

Time has long ceased to be 
Torn off the calendar - but
Parlour, kitchen, bedroom
Clocks tick on regardless. 

Hushed in the corner:
Fool’s pig-bladder of an oxygen bag,
Blue-lipped cannula -
Eyeless, agog at the final agony.

In a funk-trance of disgust,
I peel back the shroud - 
As if I were
Certifying the death.

Horror - then 
Bewilderment:

Is Being’s mystery 
Already at home in the
Vacated sanctuary of a
Face so alien?

Ancient Egypt is a big influence on funeral monuments. This one is top class, real quality
