The Moya View

Amongst the Monuments

One day I will commit the greatest heresy and 
spread my father’s ashes over my mother’s grave.


I will sit, with them and all these other named and nameless cloud covered bodies stretching to the horizon—

a final gesture, maybe, but surely a goodbye
to how they came to this place, 

and how I must leave when the sun
brings back feeling into my face.
