graveyard words
words the world
needs to hear most
lay nestled
in a heart
as its final
beat thumps
if you want to hear some real poetry,
find a tree in a graveyard and sit beneath it;
let the words that couldn’t find their way past lips,
seep through the soil
and settle like a dense fog meandering through the headstones.
breath it in and feel what the dead carried before the earth consumed them.
it’s the suffering we all endure,
it’s the only thing worth writing down.
and yet, most can’t bear to.
