epitaph







epitaph  

unable to turn the page   the light in the room

like salt on the wound of looking and seeing

the heart beating a phone ringing unanswered

   the line will go dead   leave a message   soon

 

there is no grave no weathered stone

where what was unreadable becomes illegible

where time where absence is recorded

there was fire smoke drifting   flesh and bone

 

cursive   written by the wind   ashes on the tongue
