Recovering nothing.

All these figures are dead to me, before
I meet them.

All consultations are entirely confidential.

You might want to wear long pants
because the grass is high
and the bugs will bite.

What is that round thing down there?
Its for the water.

You can see where the cattle has chewed
on the flowers that have blown over the fence.

Those big old things will topple in the wind.

Up there where all those markers
are, not markers but gravestones,
limestone, worn away, no dates, no names,
only the first to die that are put here.

Bones soaking in the dirt.
Just a bunch of stones.
