Two Days After Learning of Arthur G. Kaplan’s Death
The wound is very present
But not bleeding from the post card that informed me
Blood clotting from the day’s business:
Doughnuts purchased for Sunday School
Daughter taken to a morning’s gymnastic lesson
Photograph with Alamo backdropp required in down town San Antonio
Lunch with wife and daughter on the fly
Telephone call from the General
The busyness that takes the mind from its ache
Perhaps, even begins to assist the process of healing.
