Family Meeting

                                                                  

 

1 p.m., Wednesday, has elided into 1 p.m., today,

The same time our mother's burial began, yesterday.

Alone in her house, still in the blessing of her presence,

 

We five children and our devoted co-trustee lawyer

Sit at the dining-room table,

Discussing the ultimate disposition of Charlotte's estate.

 

The next two hours, beckoning the future,

Subsume this sanctuary, in legally scrutinized quietude.

Now, taking a few cherished mementos, we leave,

 

Realizing that, most likely, we'll never again, together,

Set foot amidst our family's history,

Which will live here no matter who lives here next.
