In best tradition but less unruly energies
we came to celebrate his life reverently,
attest his passing
Each weighed real encumbrances sadly,
freed them for him to a better place
and rested gladly
Fidelity decreed he be lauded an honour
guard’s conscience of strong shoulders,
of frank admiration
And so it was an empathic farewell just
as it is in life and in death on this,
John Pfrunder’s last day
