Funerals

Hundreds came to Mac's funeral. He had a very wide circle of friends and a large stable family life.

I couldn't help but remember the funeral of my dear friend Ger some years back. Less than a dozen showed up. The life and death of a solitary poet. The contrast makes me sad.

And somehow the Farewell Wake fits into this, life imitating art once again.
