buried beneath

G Forms - Grook Poetry Contest - Constance La France, Theme 1. Death
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All our affections are at the mercy of death, which may strike down those whom we love at any moment." Quote by _ Bertrand Russell

sitting with tears
watching a foolishly blurred vase
doodling flowers, a sun, a river, a hut, 
a range of hills, hills, hills,
I fill the voids in my tender heart
created by my
kith and kin washed away
without a trace to the sea
when massive hill fell 
on a sleeping village.
