9367. WE TAKE OUR TIME PROUDLY SLOW

WE TAKE OUR TIME 
PROUDLY SLOW
The way I see it, all is death. The so-round 
pattern of this cemetery arc, now ringed 
by birds, carries forth its meaning in the 
air. Fifteen stones within fifty-five feet, 
another name upon each one. Something 
maybe doesn't add up. This says 1812. 
This says 1932. Every night some newer
sky descends, upon these living dead,
alone now with only forms of memory
and dread, together as one. Here it says 
when floral displays are to be removed. 
There it says no traffic past this point. 
Well isn't that the living end?
