Colleen Jantzen – Life Celebrant

Triangles triangles 
There has to be triangles 
Little sandwich triangles 
Arranged on a tray

(crusts facing out 
points facing in and) 

Lots of them 
(don't skimp) 
There has to be lots 
Because 

When 
Death 
Comes

Traditions like triangles 
Little sandwich triangles 

Are all  that 
Keep one 
Bound to the earth 

Little sandwich triangles
Bad coffee
Squares 
(Dainties in Saskatchewan)
Thank you for coming 
I'm so sorry for your loss

Keep one 

From coming 

Undone
