Who is in the room

gray shadows eclipse the time
cloaked in un-forgiveness
a hunter's rampage
poachers delight
elephants melted away into the trees
a gray haze
return to the site of the dead
decay lingers in memory
ivory so bright
back to the pile of bones
back to where she fell
and grieve they do
because they have souls
