Impressions in a Graveyard

Impressions in a graveyard


Pigeons perched on a gravestone, having a meeting.....
Pigeons   sitting on the grass, at the Southe gate,
having a picnic.

A robin
My robin
having a sleep.

Head bowed, hands clasped, a minute's silence
is observe by a squirrel
in the morning light.

Head down, head in the grass,
a squirrel roots for acorns
in the morning light.

A  squirrel sits on a branch in the tree 
his head under his arm like a hat...

Behind him a group of squirrels, hoeing as in a kitchen garden,
a walled garden.
Are they the ghosts of the monks in a monastery garden?
