PAD 22 Wordle: selfie, casket, ideogram, wretch, remora, eclipse

Funeral Selfie
(fiction)

The selfie of me
standing by his casket
served as an ideogram
for what a wretch I am,
practically a remora—
along for the ride
and fed by his scraps,
his life eclipsing mine.

No more.

selfie of a wretch

from his casket he saw
the sun rise forever and blind
the watchers swimming through a school
of remoras

he stored the image in his mind
determined to review it one day
when eternity got boring and forever
eclipsed the microsecond he had spent
on earth
