You took the idea
of heaven and hell
as seriously as
you took life,
which is to say
not at all.
You always said
that life
was a joke,
that there
was no meaning
to it, only
a punchline
which everyone
is told
at the moment
of death,
and I believe you
on spring evenings
like this.
I feel your presence
when I laugh in time
with the croaking toad
outside my window. - Jeff Barnes
