Echo TreeA Poem by Anna JacobsenThe wonder of History.Come stand next to me By the echo tree We’ll yell things in So time can leave And the spacious reply Will grasp the murmuring sigh Of the sleeping Pharo’s plea Reach the reverie Living trichotomy One of the three Touch, relation; me And the past kings rely On the present state of try And I touch the graphing imagery Don’t move. Don’t make a sound Wake up the dead to life Unraveling the pattern aligned The order rummaged through Has been tampered with The bothered pieces lie around Tramped universe Singing it’s sound Why draw the line Simply to cross over it But it was more scandalous then that. More reactive Holding the brick heavy casket The monument began to move Body once sunk, Began to protrude And sunk the dry air of death instead “And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.” "John
