The Shepard's Of Arcadia 13 Poem by Felix Emeka George

The Shepard's Of Arcadia 13



*
I have come to this graveyard,
Where I am sitting
On badges and plasters
To wave off suppuration
Against flying flies and germs
And In my Superstition
My hair undone,
Like a scarlet woman
veiledly with a black wrapper,
My mother and father's relatives too
In procession enrobed,
we all ardor grief
In this earth I am solely sitting,
We had trudged a cemetery,
Of the known and unknown
As bees buzzing round the streets
In a last measure,
Like the soldiers ants trudging
Still.
On a funeral procession
Dirges sang
A Song that had led my parent,
In their wooden flats
Between the two ridges
Here were they are carefully laid,
O! death on this earth
Is as wicked as sprite.
