Colestown Cemetery Poem by guillermo veloso

Colestown Cemetery



The entrance was built with
Haphazard bricks
Random as the lives
That finished here
Crossing over full circle
The sun lies just right and the shadows are perfect
A wind-willed hawk
Hoisted on a scaffold of light
Stones as comfy as down
Earth as crumbled as cheese
Life at dusk
And the world speeds blithely by
The dancing dead

haphazard bricks and similar lives... a picture perfect poem... I could almost see the cemetry.
