tombstones...death...life

in cemetery quietness                                              

tombstones rap

epitaphs of those

they are paid to represent…

 

on the outside arena

of the living

there are many of those

wearing and boasting

tombstones of life…

 

tombstones-like

shiny clothes

worn in winter

and thin by hunger

that infuses the bellies

of their children…all

carrying newspaper-blankets

for bus stop benches…

above their heads

posted signs

reading: homeless…

 

others sitting outside

hearse-like autos

with painted message:

lost home last month…

auto eviction end of month…

 

all are silently passed daily

by tombstone-hearts

rhythmically beating

invisibility...

 

be this as it is

and we as we are

day or night

life and death

go on…oblivious

to the tombstones

of death and life alike:

here lies…here lives…

Stark... reality. As we experience myriad dimensions/levels of life signs. When those tombstones fill your eyes, you can't see anymore and drop. Those who can't take the elevator up ...have to take the stairs... up or down, depending upon whether you were paying attention, were unable to respond/were passionately out of touch or conveniently unaware

Indeed, C2! Such is the confusion and painful answer to that question: "Going up or down?! Peace and Love! Overjoyed that you are still perpendicular and "firing the word". Peace and Love.
