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
