Elegy for Someone I Never Met

From Ashes to Ashes
From Dust to Dust
Another father laid to rest.
Another teen fails breathalizer test.

This time it's not just NEWS.
This time it's real.
This time it's Her Father.
Hoping this is the only time.

Eulogy escapes
Empty embraces
Exhausted faces
Family paces.
