early grave by Mary Frances Spencerdoubt
starts the fall
pebbles
each one assessing worth
the avalanche
stifles expression
an early grave
should not pile up
or bury
but disperse
flat stones
skipping over
cause and effect
the round
going down
under
leaving concentric
rippling moons
that travel
softly
outward on
silvery waters
