FOR HER LADYSHIP JUSTICE DORIS ASO BEMPONG
(Justice of the High Court of Ghana)
anguished
my wailing ululations
split the night
to touch
the sound of silence
the waltz of a falling leaf
is but a languid drop to earth
even the winds fall in tandem
with its rhythm
so haste not in departing
slowly let your breath
extinguish in me
REST IN PERFECT PEACE, SOUL SISTER

Happy this resonates, Parmis. She was so dear to me.
Death is most often not wanted, but there is a peace to that end.
May your friend’s memory be for a blessing.
