Away Team

from Vestigialist by Liam Kingsley

lyrics

It ran late.
They disguised you in makeup and paste;
smoothed out the lines that had pockmarked your face.

It was great.
Loved the song that the radio played
as emergency lights filed on by one on the highway
to watch us put you away.

Then we ate
penne al vodka from catering trays
as various guests made attempts at remembering my name.

Stayed up late.
Had my mom define passing away,
as she held to my father who wiped his nose with his cuff
as he offered a meek, “I’m okay.”
I was eight.

And I don’t quite know why, when you passed,
the first thing I did when I heard was I laughed.
