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:

tombstone-like

shiny clothes

in winter

worn thin by hunger

that infuses the bellies

of their children…

all carrying newspaper

blankets

for bus stop benches

and

above their heads

posted signs

reading: homeless…

 

others sit outside

hearse-like autos

with posted  messages:

lost home last month

auto goes end of this month…

all are silently passed

each day

by rhythmically beating

tombstone-hearts

and eyes prone to 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)
