Burying Her Ashes Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

Burying Her Ashes



Strange!
A person with great height
and weight is now turned
into an urn of ashes.

Down deep into a
little hole of the ground,
she is laid down
without music
and elegance.

Strange!
She, an equation
by contraction
or reduction!

And this life
of great height
and grandeur
is now inside
a metallic urn!
