14,092. TAKE THE TALONS

TAKE THE TALONS
(in the Molly Pitcher graveyard,
Carlisle, PA)
Take the talons for what
they're worth, and let them
grasp at subterfuge  -  a form
of secret delight we know too 
little of. In the graveyard of
Molly Pitcher, we can count
the markers clearly. 
-
Stone wall and broken gate.
Family groupings and the
Civil War dead. Men left
out for their stories to dry.
