Poem: Nameless

Buried underground you are nameless
No way of knowing where you are from a distance
Only standing beside you
Can I see exactly where you are
But how do I know the exact spot of your existence
When yours is like many others surrounding you
When will you finally get the headstone you deserve
So I can visit you without searching for you
Among a colony of those that have taken up residence down below
And panicking when you are nowhere to be found
