Dear Inspiration from an Old Bell,

(Thank you.)



Old bell
that has dinged
and donged
for the happy weds

Free from its rope now
Not long gone
from tolling the slow procession
of death

Chiming public news
across the green;
the announcer
the messenger boy

Pealing in song
with other bells
in other rhythms
until the ritual dies
and the graves are full
