crashed—
in waving fields of grass
and little mounds of dust
a chunk of cosmic stone—Heaven’s gift
made small beside the marble wall
the wall well cut, engraved
a monument:
–
ADAM & RACHEL
1912-1912
–
to death.
and round the restless wind
plays dirges unaccompanied
deep into the night
and beetles creep and spiders
weave while dust returns to dust
