Ashes of My Son

Folder: 
Immortal

As we tossed his ashes into

the sea..

the wind came onto

the quay

and into our mouths

she blew

a few

as she blew others

away



which might have

made us

unwitting cannibals



had we not thought

that he was such a holy man

.. it was instead

a communion gray

upon the seagirt quay..



he wanted no carved script

engraved in mausoleum's crypt

for he knew the body

to be a prison

of Infinite Spirit
