Eternal

They pass in sedentary step

Eyes smeared with the spectre of life lost

Children stammering stride to keep pace

Chastised, in straightjacket ebony

Granite stares glaze the ground

As reality of finality

Bitters the air

Pondering worth I look to the

Moss shrouded testaments

From high-rise to bare earth

Whilst suffocating lilies

In synthetic

Synchronizing their

Bleeding cardboard goodbyes

Fingers scratch ceremoniously at tissue

Lips weld tight to irrepressible memory

Jaws sieze, defiant to closing word

Blankets are strewn by the craven

Worth does not rest here

Amoung dust and bone

It carries on the wings of tale

Inhaling with each pulse of recall

Whispering from ornament

Uttering from the innate curve of a c

It loiters illusion of a familiar face

Vying generation, distinct

Constant it survives

Out reaching death

In trail and trait

Eternal
