Philomena D. Gavod - Madness
Philomena D Gavod
I walk, amon cold hoards of gray rock, drooping trees and blowing petals. How sad tha their lives are no more than the dash between two numbers. The elegant carvings of their names cause people to grieve now, but what of the passed, when their grievers are too, gone? Will no one weep for them when the dates and names are so weathered from age and neglect that they can no longer be read clearly? When the stones, crosses and angels are so old that they themselves go back to the earth, will a new corpse be buried in that place? How many people, like i, will wander the graveyard's cold perimeter in the dead of night to wonder such things? How many people, like i, care whether their loved ones live on; in the ground or above it?
The trees, i am certain, were planted here to bring some look of joy to the faces of people waying their last goodbyes. They are here to try and convince sad souls dressed in black that their loved ones are in a better place. All i see when i see the trees are mountainous guardians of the dead souls. They hand, dreary and threatening over the graves of the weary, daring them to try and reunite thier sould sith sights of the past. The wind, howling and damp, flits through the leaves, like a lion throwing back its flowing mane. But the trees do not realize that they are as dead to me as the man i have come to see. They are lifeless beings, drinking up the fertilized ground that they were thoughtlessly planted on. Ironic that they thrive and grow as their patrons wither with the weight of death. If only the trees could use their bark to scare away the spirited, who come to defile this resting place with colour. This place is not meant to bear colour. Brightness.
This is the sole reason that the flowers here never seem to be new. A graveyard would not be complete without the crunch and rustle of dried, withered petals blown carelessly about. The wind cares not what it destroys. Why bring flowers to the site of someone dead? Does it not just remind them of colour and joy? In remembrance...
The words on the stones bear messages of a better future and warmth. The are written in vain, for their homes are the marking places of a body as cold as the stone they decorate. And to think that people make a living of creating such a terrifying and murky place! We pay them money for a bed that will not only consume our loved ones, but will one day disolve itself. What moral have they? They break their backs to plant another lifeless soul. I curse with the chill of the wind; the chill of the rock i touch; upon all those who receive tin for their labours here. May you all meet your ends swiftly, and be buried here among those who were once your victims.
Oh Father, i saulte your bravery. You were not afraid as you died. As you held my hand and rested your palm on my face, you were too worried about me. Perhaps, if you had cared more about yourself, you may have lived. Instead, i am alive and well, as you wished. Although to say i am well is little more than i lie. I may very well be dead. But you, Father, were not afraid to be thrown carelessly and lifeless into the cold earth; to be at the mercy of the wind, rain and snow. The risk, even, of being forgotten. I wish everyone were as brave as you. I wish i were.
Alas! I hear you calling! I am wise enough to know that it isn't your voice, but another's. Yet while my life is a hellish nightmare, i imagine even one beauty. All the light i have is cast by the moon, but how could i view it as beautiful? Like you, the moon is bound to the night; to the darkness. It is keeper of the night; only half keeper of my hell.
Yet as i hear you sing, beckoning me from my knees, i find the only beauty is a cold wash of fear from my heart. In my ears, i hear you summon. In my heart, i know you aren't there. All that calls is the shell of a man who is uqually as dead as you. He is condemned to the night, but by choice. He is emptier than the graves that have long fed the trees. His hand and his heart are as cold as the tombstones.
Yet where is my justification in damning him? For in this catacomb of a life, i find more sunlight in the darkness. I find more love in the hate. I love the man who will drag me with him to a grave of cursed, yet sweet, destruction. I turn away from you Father. I will walk the path of fear. I will live the life of a coward. For if i rest in his arms, death will not creep up, causing alarm. If i rest in his blood-stained hands, death will simply... one day... come.
