You're Not Alone

David Bowie died thirteen days

after I sat next to my grandma

while she slowly did the same,

and my aunt said she wanted

Space Oddity to play at her funeral

and I could only ask:

Why not Golden Years?

 

Only seven since the winds and glints

hovered around her headstone

and raised some disagreement:

A thousand gusts chilled the bone,

yet that afternoon our pale gold

Sun had brightly shone,

and Under Pressure faintly played

with Freddie Mercury alone.
