It’s About Dying Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

It’s About Dying



He was a small
unassuming man who offered
no resistance:

his dying was quiet
as summer slipping
from orchard trees

and yet for many
conjured up in their memory
near death

he grew as huge in stature
as fearful childhood
shadows on a wall.
