My father died ten years ago.  As a cryonicist, I have lost him twice, first to death itself and then to the tomb.

IN MEMORY OF DAD

I have memories of you

Happy events of my childhood

Shrouded in fog

Dimmed by the years

As I remember you

I dissolve in tears

A proud man

Has been reduced to dust

What lies under the mud

It’s not my dad

He’s gone forever

And only lives in my mind
