–noun
a stone marker, usually inscribed, on a tomb or grave.
You
Fell
Letting your life disappear
In the too many cracks
From our known universe
A dead leaf it was
Twirling in the gale, gay
But dead all the same
Then the storm came about
And lifted your tombstone
A broken toy to the winds
In the broken plaque
I recognized that spirit in you
Still twirling, still agonizing,
Still
Dead.
