The potholed road
Far from soothes.
Through an army
Of level grass,
It limps.
The holes are
Scars, telling
Travelers
Of heavy wear.

Baby Elaine
Beneath the cedar tree
Exactly three months old
Just a square of concrete
Is all we can behold.
God places little flowers here
With His almighty hand
As if a gift to all below
Who on the black road stand.
“Gone to a better land”
With a lamb crudely carved
Was all they could afford
When in 1932
The whole land starved.
A blanket of soft green grass
Caresses those feet that tread
A comfort to those who wait,
Still living here, for bread.
