Melodic Memories
Solemn mourning doves
calling out their melodies
for the dead and lost.
Their cries attract crows,
gatekeepers for memories
of the hushed poets
Whose words, sad and true.
And I find myself transfixed
by somber haiku.
Bittersweet as songs,
beautiful as the sunrise,
bleak as passing fog.
Calling all manner
of the macabre and the strange
onward to nowhere,
Somewhere beyond the stars
in a hollowed and hallowed
house of ghosts and cards.
The doves and their songs,
the crows and their memories,
poets and their words,
Wistful, bittersweet,
mourning melody complete,
they welcome the dawn.
