early morning

I had a dream
that you stood in line
with all the others
to receive a blessing
from a man
long dead

I saw his body
lowered into the ground
and yet he was there
standing
preaching
like he always was

and you would not see
me
and my sorrow
but went ahead
to have hands laid on you
like old times

and I sat
outside
weeping
