Reflection

SITTING THERE

 

Drove by two cemeteries

on my way home this afternoon.

Hard stone reminders sitting there

in the shaking green grass.

Came across a memorial card

this evening in a book

I never finished – it too giving

me pause – death is in the wing.

Hold it.

Hold still.

There better be a morning

after these hard rock and paper

warnings – that there are term limits.
