HEADSTONE

Seeking only
license—still

the zealous 
stop-at-nothing

young—are stirred
to dig 
and just 
dig down—

eager
and wanton—to 
remake
and remake more deeply

all the earthly letters! Not to mention
reshuffle 
all the numbers—in order 

to keep the story 
going—and so 

on
it goes—

long before
and after those pretty
inartistic looking carved-out dashes

which themselves seek
only silence.
