how many years
has it tumbled in the stream
like paper in the wind
in late october
a red brick once
proud and strong
rounded by the sand
until it sits
smooth as summer
in the palm of my hand
gather up some stones
to prove that you were here
watch them turn to sand
watch it disappear
one rainy spring
years ago
the river overflowed
and washed away
half of a graveyard
coffins scattered
downstream
like box cars
after a train crash
even the cold ground
can’t be trusted to last
gather up some stones
to prove that you were here
watch them turn to sand
watch it disappear
into the riverbed
