Triangles

Triangles triangles 
There has to be triangles
Little sandwich triangles
Arranged on a tray

(crusts facing out
points facing in and)

Lots of them
(don't skimp)
There has to be lots
Because

When
Death
Comes

Traditions like triangles
Little sandwich triangles

Are all that
Keep one
Bound to the earth

Little sandwich triangles
Bad coffee
Squares
(Dainties in Saskatchewan)
Thank you for coming
I'm so sorry for your loss

Keep one

From coming

Undone

  1. So very true. In Saskatchewan one can order “funeral bread” at the bakery. Slices of round loaves with fruit in them. Buttered, for serving. It was a strange and comforting tradition. “Keep one from coming apart”.
