This is a lament
for decency gone astray
a nod to everyday women
on this sad day, Shaye Moss –
perhaps the rose of youth
will bloom in splendor
raise a garden over some
graveyard bones – for all
my casting stones at
heavenly bodies above
you shine a light here
in the dark keep on
Miss Rosa keep on.
