DEAR ANCESTOR



Your tombstone stands among the rest
Neglected and alone

The name and date are chiseled out

Rickey - Iron...

On polished marble stone

It reaches out to all who care

It is too late to mourn

You did not know that I exist

You died and I was born

Yet each of us are cells of you

In flesh and blood and bone

Our blood contracts and beats a pulse

Entirely not our own

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled

One hundred years ago

Spreads out among the ones you left

Who would have loved you so

I wonder if you lived and loved

I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot


And come to visit you
