growing pains

semi-grassy
semi-snowy
super glossy headstone

amazing grace, sung by tweleve
cousins
grandmother’s beauty shots
then barbeque
from a stone smoke stack
red checkered tablecloths

"which lunch plate"

and a photo album
purses, black coats
on the backs of seats

just two SUVs
crunching frozen grass
uphill
downhill

no one there but us
duty
piece-by-piece
shaking

papers with the lyrics printed out
the sweetest duty
i’ve seen yet

casual tears, prayers,
volunteers

no body yet,
cremator closed on christmas
