STILL LIFE: GRAVEYARD ON WOODBRIDGE AVENUE
1.
Weather-beaten flags mark
graves of veterans,
red stripes fading to white,
to memory
2.
weeds sprout like white hairs from
old-man’s half-shaven face
3.
picket fence, gap-toothed
white paint chipped and peeling,
beaten by wind and rain
4.
church façade, a scratchy red,
unwashed brick
like dead leaves in the sun
