Monument:
A piece of sculpture or architecture commemorating a specific person or event.


I have no palaces for you.
Only intangible words,
Never spoken,
Never read.

Perhaps someday I might print them,
Engrave them permanently onto burnable paper,
And build houses that will waft up like phoenix light
Before falling into dust.

No one knows what sort of monument to make to the living,
So that is why I have no idea of the next step.
Finally you are alive,
But I haven't a clue on how to celebrate you.
