Reminiscing the Past: Part XI

A String
by Ariana Uding

Carved A dot P dot
Son of Anton and Anna
Surname, no first name

Spots of mud and moss
In the tree’s shade you’ve rested
And will for all days

Close enough to smell
Bright enough to call the sun
Too far for a touch

Lonesome in your rest
Next to you lays mystery
Bones lay next to bones

Surname Pavelka
Aging over tombstone but
Letters left untouched
