Cemetery Statue Beside The Atlantic, Gloucester, Massachusetts Winter 1978 Poem by Warren Falcon
Cemetery Statue Beside The Atlantic, Gloucester, Massachusetts Winter 1978
A scholar with a book sits
just within the cemetery gate:
And so, green statue with
your large hand on your book,
don't look so foolish
with snow on your head.
When did you last come
to sit beside the dogwood
growing a shadow over the dead?
Death is a deed.
Death is a clean sorrow.
It is natural to weep -
Even a waste basket in a cemetery.
