in
the earth
this
marsh-close clay
the
dead lay
some not even bones now
tucked
away
&
love
broken
headstones have little to say
but
the fallen berries
tucked
in
lacquered crevices
the fallen berries
tucked
in
lacquered crevices
make a playful squirrels day
~
it comes back to this -
scratch
the blank
wide open
&
be as water
with the ink
bent & coping on the cemetery bench
every
laughing
groundhog day
