Pears and Lilies
Across the cold concrete steps
Are strewn pears and lilies
A very long time ago
A grave tragedy occurred here
No one saw anything
No one said a word
Dark spirits now protect the site
Somber, powerful memories still remain
At the corner of forever
Out on the edge of time
Where something means everything
But means nothing at all
Stands a figure transfixed, keenly aware
that beyond the void and
Across the cold concrete steps
Are strewn pears and lilies
