Advice for Pallbearers
To make the sound
of your footsteps disappear
requires practice,
a cornfield in late autumn
when the ground is brittle enough
to repeat what it hears.
Best if the six of you can go together
at dusk, find a barn-owl,
a corn-crow will do.
See how close you can get
before the bird startles, observe
the interaction of air and wing.
Before you handle the casket,
borrow your mother's finest crystal
vase, carry it through the crowded parking lot
to the water park, ride the slides.
Let nothing shatter.
The trick is for the coffin to appear
to float, the weight of his failures
superfluous. Let him be known
as a saint, for a few moments,
before he takes up haunting.
