Falling dirt


A crowd swarms around
watching, attentive a hole in the ground
The rock standing in the way
is bearing her lovely name

The wind whispers a familiar song
"Please, sir, do not be long
'cause I can't bear to see my mom cry
Please hurry so her eyes stay dry"

The remnants of her soul
are boxed up in the gaping hole
or spread around in the rustling fields
giving the crops the best of meals

The wheats inherit a soul
so pure and made of gold
but I gain nothing but blisters
And an unrelenting memory
of digging a hole.

I really appreciate the wheat being golden by her being rested there.  I appreciate the longing with a sardonic twist. I enjoyed this very much.
