Elegy for Uncle Dickey

It was embarrassing the way we buried you.
Those old drunks from the V. F. W.
couldn’t keep anything straight
between the shaking and salutes.
We should have done better by you
than the horror of Taps
and rifle blasts.
Your life was a cigar stuck in a smile
but there’s no ceremony like that.
I guess the only thing we did right
was drink for three nights, oh,
and that marvelous sight of your son
pissing on the gravestones.

Sheila M. O’Connor
