A snowstorm of graves howls
from the caves of mountains
Into valleys and plains
Graves scatter the earth
ancient granite stones
family markers
paupers graves
flanders field
hidden graves of abandoned church yards
wooden headstone
the name and date burned away by the sun
here lies in perfect peace with god forever
the loving wife of
Mass grave
grave of the unknown
unmarked grave
the muddy graves of small towns
burial mounds in heather
graves in the foundations of new york
The propensity of humans to fall into graves ashes a private ganges
to be forever remembered/forgotten
even as the air
is inundated by hovering birds
and acacia flowers
