(poems) twenty one: A Lament

A Lament


lands filled with the dead

scribed stones marking their head,

flesh and bones returned to earth,

families weep for whatever that’s worth. 


flowers laid to mark the site

words said to some ancient rite

nonsense about returning to god

as a wooden box is covered with sod


so when my time comes lay me down

and promise me now, not to frown

Just stick me under the nearest tree

and laugh and love for the life that was me
