'Eulogy' by Jules Leigh Koch | States of Poetry SA - Series Two
by Jules Leigh Koch •
When a
child
dies
A cross
is made
in woodwork
Angels
are drawn
in the art room
The school flag
is hoisted
to half mast
In the assembly hall
vases of lilies
are placed
At recess
the children sit together
a little tighter
The playground
swing has
a minute’s silence
