Restless Souls - v2

The maw of the earth
gaping open, awful
restless souls
not finding people
not a place of rest
trees toppled, scattered.

An open wound
remaining, unstitched
broken stones,
overturned earth
needing mending
so they may rest.

Restless Souls
Pembroke Street Cemetery
still with toppled trees exposing
gravesites, a month after the windstorm
February 26-27, 2010
