Mountain-Top Tomb

Mountain-Top Tomb

A Poem by Cassidy Mask

You must have been real dedicated

(Or just superstitious)

To carry your dead

To the top of this mountain

Because I just climbed it and

Believe me

It’s no joke

 

I’m standing on this mound of earth

This tomb of kings

And I can see for miles

Can see the whole world

Newport and Cardiff

While beneath me

The bones of you

Lay under

Thousands of years of dust

 

I’m standing on this tomb

And I’m thinking

About death

But not in a morbid way

Just that

I bet you thought you had some kind of

Control

Like you owned this land

 

And now you’re long gone

And I’m standing

In my jeans and t-shirt

Atop your tomb

Uncaring and unimpressed

By your once great power

 

You see

It’s my turn now

 

Just for now.
