inside the clearing of the bush cemetery
I sit surrounded by a stark equality
every grave is marked with a plain white crossthe landscape is a post modern dirge
stretched in the aftermath of Christian law
the plastic flowers have faded to pastelall distinctions are blurred here
the new and the old will conflict soon
the nearby trees will refereeI sit with a stark equality
Where earth and heaven meet
The reality is killing me
