Under the gaze trespassing the past.

Under the gaze trespassing the past.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Encroach not
on the cockroach passing
that scatters amongst
the tombstone's dead
for they entertain
the moment of
shadows past.
But heed not
for I was walking
in the presence
of the dead,
exiled and buried;
littered and dressed
by golds and reds.
However I heard nothing,
but church bell chimes
for I was now the ghost
that walked on the winds of change
as I scurried with my friends,
while the churchyard yawns.
