Passing

worms turn and flesh burns

ghostly rhyme and reason



we come and we go,

patiently stoking the fire

until the compulsory call comes



those left behind will wonder,

forced to ponder the eternal,

what is happening?



we are stoking the fire

so that those who arrive will have a warm
place to be

and those that depart will not have left a barren legacy
