old man's death gieve patel poem summary​

Answer 1

Answer:

OLD MAN’S DEATH

There may be a very small comfort

In knowing yourself finally

Useless – when even grandchildren

Have grown beyond your love,

And your would-be widow

Has outhobbled you and

Wont be around to break with

One or two of her last thick tears,

And not caring much for

Your fellowmen, the doctors

Wont get your body –

To know how simply you

Will be bundled away, startling

A lifelong friend who finds

He cannot mourn

At the quick and easy changes:

A sprinkling of water,

The disappearance of an odour,

A turn of bed-sheets, leaving

A bed, a chair,

Perhaps a whole room,

With clarity in them.
