A Memorial

As the grisly details of the Greyhound bus slaying and the focus of media attention falls on the alleged killer, I think it's only right that we remember the victim. I myself find I am too in the thick of diseminating the facts and forming my opinions to actually write a poem about it all yet at this point. Simply the words of Jim Morrison echo in mind my as they have since the last days of April when my mother passed away and I think they say it better than anything. Also I want to remember the tragedy of Red Deer's Travis Catellier and his family.

For Tim and Travis, Rest in Peace

"Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven's claws. "
From An American Prayer
Jim Morrison US rock singer (1943 - 1971)

Stay tuned, the memorial for the 63rd anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will feature original poetry from Beverley-coming August 8.
