The Dead.... Poem by RIC BASTASA
The Dead....
he showed
to me the dead
rat
which the cat
caught
last night
quite big
and quite long
and perhaps
notorious
in the yard
he wanted to
throw it away
but i said no
told him to
bury it
near the mango tree
for the dead
like the rat
shall feed the trees
this earth
for the dead
shall feed humanity
like those
martyred by war
those killed
by time
shall nurture back
this earth
to its own life.
