Poems
Jul 2017
just a pair of sticks
I found your solitary grave:
a "t" bound by twine--two sticks from a mesquite
no name, your eulogy likely the
high desert winds,
and perchance a disappointed caw from a vulture for you were covered well
deep in dirt, hard work for any steel,
but afterย the toil
your grave diggerย took time to craft
a crucifix
otherwise, I would have stepped on your
grave,
an ignorant desecration averted by love's anonymous labor,
and the ancient blood on the cross
