Elegy Of A Sort Poem by Jay Kasturi

Elegy Of A Sort



Dropping a fistful of earth
on your cold body in a pit,
changes nothing.
Fistful after fistful,
like the hammer on an anvil,
changes you to nothing,
not shape you into another life’s gold
or thread you into memory’s loom.
I wait in the rain
until you disappear
under a mound of wet earth.

(2001)
