White Pumpkins

A dumb supper
for Samhain, my birthday.
Black tablecloths, white pumpkins
a river of sorrows
in my kitchen.
I invite my friends
that passed this year.
In the silence
I may hear then whisper,
"We are not gone,
just away."
"It is not cruel to say,
we will meet again,
as dust on white pumpkins."
