Misanthropic Squabbles

walk by the burial ground
ubiquitous queues of lichen
awninged tombstones string out

engraving summarizes
bold subheading
who was adored by whom

I slide the dainty floret stipends
turn into gleams
scattered embers
riding the withdrawn wind

Your words immortalize the burial ground, my dearest friend, Lasaad! Excellently done! Blessing!
