| DEAR ANCESTOR | |||||||||||||||
| Your tombstone stands among the rest. neglected and alone. The name and date are chisled out on polished marbled stone. |
|||||||||||||||
| It reaches out to all who care. It is too late to morn. You did not know that I exist. You died and I was born. |
|||||||||||||||
| Yet each of us are cells of you in flesh, in blood,in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own. |
|||||||||||||||
| Dear ancestor, the place you filled one hundred years ago. Speads out among the ones you left who would have loved you so. |
|||||||||||||||
| I wonder if you lived and loved. I wonder if you knew. That someday I would find this spot, and come to visit you. |
