it’s peaceful here in the old graveyard
incongruously serene across the perimeter fence
inside which it’s high alert
where gravity bullies dance
offering themselves skyward
Daedalus unbound a thousand times a day
but in the family plot
myths and legends are found in names and dates
foretelling this one’s ascension into heaven
and that one’s faith in the lord above
arrivals and departures fixed for eternity
transitioning realities
with faith enough to believe
