If you’ve spent a lot of time in Funeral Homes
and Cemeteries
the obvious doesn’t affect you.
Shadows over tombstones,
crows strolling across graves
and mourners standing over old graves with the lettering worn away
are as common place in your day
as getting stuck in traffic or not being able to find your keys.
It’s the little things, the sublte things
that you see
when you wake up in the middle of the
night.
