Epitaph
By John Walsh

it should say.
he was a master of
the metaphysical
one liner

not gifted to portray
the scenes exotic

universally acclaimed
to be the most poetic
the ones that make
you gasp, for air
and understanding

it should say.
he set the stage
arranged the lights
and at the moment
precisely right

a child spoke,
sometimes in doubt
more often hope
