Notes About The Poem

Image by Jon Corelis

Empty

I stood with you at your grave,
watching the rain erase your name from the stone.
Your damp face scanned the sky for a trace of your days
as the mournful ghosts huddled round,
sobbing into their shawls of fog.  You laid
a handful of thorns on the mound where the grass grew black.
Your eyes were empty of anger.  Your eyes were empty
of expectation.  Your eyes were empty of fulfillment.
