Dust Over Dead Bodies

by Bob Goyette

It's harvest time in my world
I'm supposed to remember
lots of hard work
good wine for the future
not dust over dead bodies

how does this happen

I know desire is in back of it
misguided and confused

how did they forget love
how did they put aside love of other humans
for desire

these people that died had things to harvest
love
families
joy

gone
forever

It makes me sad
