grain by grain


there was no narrative
no pinnacle to work back from
just a cemetery in time

where stories were told
by the gloss on stones
embossed in modern font

a backdrop echoed
by unmarked graves
neglected on another front

by the skulls, mumbling
in shallow voices
of the heat of the midday sun

and the locomotion
by the station now abandoned
rust remembers the line

between the profane
and the sublime
life finds its way
