Arch Of Rock

Arch of rock, in desert splinted room.
A shaft of light transmits a yellow warmth
upon the man upon the monolithic tomb.
Two parents, stone with heads bowed low,
the clock upon the walls says so.
The man is leaking, like the dawn
behind him through the glass.
An arch of rck, in desolate home,
creaking as the decades pass.
