These words fall like dying shells

to an ancient ocean floor

 

Glimpsed as they descend

by anyone who cares to look

 

Added to and covered

by the steady tragic rain

 

Sinking in the sediment

crushed into a single cry

 

Abandoned by the sea

blasted from the quarry-face

 

A monument of voices

cacophony of shattered dreams

 

And still the words keep falling

to settle in the mud
