Jennifer Saunders
Copp's Hill Burying Ground, Boston, Massachusetts
Ruined graveyard
of battered tombstones,
tilted markers sinking
into the earth.
Desperate
and brave,
this need to remember
and be remembered.
To mark our beginnings and endings
with dates and dashes,
our place in the world
by beloved husband ofs.
To stay
after we are gone,
to keep one foot
out of the grave.
