.....MEMORIAL DAY
.....at the cemetery
counting the shadows
........Veteran's Day
the sun laying shadows
.........row after row
...........Veteran's Day
rummaging through his desk
...rust smudging my fingers
Counting the shadows....what a painfully beautiful expression for numbering the gravestones. I really like this one...a keeper for me, and a ten too!
