WORMS CRAWL UNDISTURBED



How is it that
the marble of the tomb
weighs over you, and
your invisible feet 
roam about the fields
like a familiar ghost -
for their dust
feeds the roots of trees 

Your flesh, that
lived once 
have melted 
Your absence is thick
impenetrable nothingness
where worms crawl undisturbed
All have perished 
Under the avid earth
