 Elegy
"The traditional elegy mirrors three stages of loss. First, there is a lament, then praise for the idealized dead, and finally consolation and solace."

Oh really
I no longer have it
So what?
Does possession
Form our spines?
My hat of forgetfulness
Erased all the names
And I only guess
He was a fine man
Or was it?
I wish I had remembered
So desperately need to recall
What I have lost
Damn and despair
