Deceased members of the class of 1950,
you crowd my heart with long forgotten names.
Gone into the dark already. But life is thrifty
with faces. And my late memory reclaims
deceased members of the class of 1950.
We arrived together. But go out in turn.
My name holds back, not yet on that list.
But even after so much time, I burn
to take your hands. Even now you're missed,
deceased members of the class of 1950.
