mourning
the old bones
Lillian Eulalie
C.S.A.
generations
asleep together.
the family Thrasher
in moldering stone
but also
in town,
in faded paint
Thrasher & Bros.
on the side
of an old wooden warehouse
scrubbed away,
Coca Cola
beneath.
old town
selling old things.
pairs of children
walk with dollars clenched
to buy
their afternoon scoop
sit on a swing
tease the dog
dribble pink cream
on their fists.
