Not Finding Sarah |
By: Roger Hansford |
We might have missed it, this marker to relatives last seen living.
'JONATHAN W. HUDDART ALSO EDITH HIS WIFE'
No verse, but comfort from the names.
A scamper of red squirrels erodes the mileage of years.
We resurrect a bygone Lakeland town
scour explosions of oxidation lest ancestral insights be obscured.
Dark waters run quickly between fallen tombs, ready to carry us on.
We cannot root our remembrance. |
