Rockville Cemetery

Among broken stones

folded over soft grass

we linger.

See how the fallen pillar

leans

on the graven rock?

Someday

they’ll search

for us, too.

In this garden,

beyond

all calamity,

beneath sunny lawns,

in a deeper shade

we’ll fill our own space

and in peace
with you

we’ll wait.
