What would a headstone say
if it could mark
the solemn moment of release
into the ground to fulfill its purpose
in laying another to rest?
Would it have the honor
to designate the final destination
of a soul no longer
within the frame that lies
outstretched until the time
that nature reclaims what was
never separate from it?
What would a headstone say
in the darkest of nights
when no one is around to hear
the words “I love you, welcome home”?
