Dear Ancestor marker:

Your tombstone stands among the rest
neglected and alone
Your name and date are chisled out
On polished marble stone

It reached out to all who care
It is too late to mourn
You didn't know that I exist.
You died before I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
one hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
who would have loved you so.

I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot
And come and visit you.
