Visitation 
  
“...and here's a marvellous convenient place for our rehearsal.”  
 
A Midsummer Night's Dream 
  
his name and date of birth on the left 
hers on the right etched in the stone 
marker displaying their family name 
easily seen from the graveyard gate 
 
the two smile familiar from a recent  
photo posed indelible on granite slab 
for visits hereafter to this tombstone 
resting upon their final resting place 
 
I look at the picture of mom and dad  
trace the letters of my carved surname 
walk around their memorial mindful  
both my parents are far from departed 
 
only electing an entombment chamber 
this future family plot paid for in full 
vacantly awaiting infinite residency  
merely missing their mortal remains  
 
grateful both are still here with me 
more grateful neither now beside me 
to witness my tearful preview of that  
day when these empty spaces are filled
