POETRY >
A Walk in Cleveland’s Lake View Cemetery
You upright marker
You silent solder
You gray memory
You reluctant bench
You cold shoulder
You proud substitute
You defiant reminder
You tearless stone
You missed opportunity
You emotional imposter
You inadequate shrine
You earthly place
You silent solder
You gray memory
You reluctant bench
You cold shoulder
You proud substitute
You defiant reminder
You tearless stone
You missed opportunity
You emotional imposter
You inadequate shrine
You earthly place
You are death.
