This piece came to mind while I was thinking of my neighbor attending a funeral for a family member who suddenly died. I was especially moved by the ending, which appeared suddenly and sweetly after an angry beginning.

Outside, it’s raining.
Beeswax candles burn inside.
Honey fills my nose
Lifting me up!
On this dark and cloudy day.
