A Cleave Written in a Cemetery

Close to the tree line - on the slope of a hill
a trio of foxes romp and wrestle - where our ancestors rest
undisturbed - in stippled sunlight
beneath shady branches - where lacy leaf patterns dance
weaving and swaying - over silent graves
'til tiring of shadow games - we plant flowers for lost loves while
the skulk scampers over a hilltop - searching for times past when
swathed in citrus sunshine - they cast their own shadows.
