I love the sound of wind on graveyard grass at night.
Same for the moonlight on them.
I love the cold silence and calm of faded engravings and forgotten memory.
Same for the stillness of those feelings.
Graveyards do us a great deal of good, not too big.
I walked through one a lot growing up, stood too.
No one’s home there.
They never left.
The generic dead’s greatest gift is the presence of absence.
