FOR THE DEAD

willows weep

silent stoic

poised in saintly supplication

bitter surroundings meld

leaving barren crusts of earth exposed

ancient roots bleached white

cling together

as the onslaught of night continues unabated

frost heaves deeply cut

furrow frozen ground, winds moan

incessantly digress to a Winter\'s canticle

paying homage to the dead
