We tend to
eschew places of burial,
too quiet,
too still.
They seem
at times to be surreal.
Most folks
dread the going,
not wanting
to view the gravestones
row after
row... Looking back,
we
shouldn't assume this inclination
for gloom
was always so.
There was
one burial place,
so like a
small room,
where loved
ones who were left behind
witnessed
the heartbreak beauty
---- of an
empty tomb.
