Inclination

we were really tired,
walking, walking up the hill,
the stones hard,
sharp at our feet
till we stopped at the top, to look.

a whole bunch of water,
flat trees, hills, ourselves
reflected, captured
in a glance.

Death After Death!

Bateman’s found a leader’s place of death,
Curious mind could not be helped!
He dug it up with respect and care,
And there to be found were riches and a decayed body.

The old man’s tomb lies stiff covered in weed,
Did he know he would end this way?
Children gaze at his grave,
Bateman’s life is frozen here.

The Wind

I feel a breath of wind go past -
Who was there?
How did they get there?
Buried deep down under.

Above the wind swirls and swirls,
I feel a cold breath of wind go past.
