Skulking around sacred soil,
Tepid breath, rich against the earth.
My eyes sought the rare stone in the grass
That my beloved uncle hid behind.
Discomfort was my partner
As my fears giggled behind lost irises.
A horrid feeling slashed at my throat;
He was too good at this game.
Was he like that before? Or did I hardly see him to know?
Was his hair short? Were his eyes grey?
My eyes stung with a bitter lack of resolve at his victory,
The faded memories were lost behind retreating footsteps
And the endless army of marble stones.

I made this poem up just ten minutes ago on my way home from visiting my uncle's grave (if you haven't gathered this fact from the poem).
I was looking for my uncle's gravestone and couldn't find it. When I got home I asked my dad about it and he said my uncle's gravestone wasn't put there yet so there was no way I could find him. This is what this poem is about, I hope you like it. If you are confused by anthing in this poem, just ask me about it okay. |
