stefania de kenessey - veterans' cemetery lyrics

Loading...

the ceremonies of the day have ceased
abandoned to the ragged crow’s parade
the flags unravel in the caterpillar’s feast
the wreaths collapse onto the stones they shade

how quietly doves gather by the gate
like souls who have no heaven and no h+ll
the patient grass reclaims its lost estate
where one stone angel stands as sentinel

the voices whispering in the burning leaves
faint and inhuman, what can they desire
when every season feeds upon the past
and summer’s green ignites the autumn’s fire?

the afternoon’s a single thread of light
sewn through the tatters of a leafless willow
as one by one the branches fade from sight
and time curls up like paper turning yellow
