Sir Edmund Hillary's Passing

Aluminium Cans

Silver grey, corrosion-resistant,
Coke can,
Saw a man with hammer in
Hand,
Small girl without arms
Patiently waited.
Nepal hills quiet
Resting land,
Patiently waited.
Father passed by on the road to heaven,
Old oxygen bottles fashioned into bells,
Rang farewell.
Aluminium cans.
