an easy expectation
It's simple to say that signs of growth are all I needed. New weeds among the dead stones, and what it means to be alone where no one is living. It's an easy expectation, silence and all that. There are cars crossing below this hilltop cemetery, and clearly enough to me, they don't know I'm up here. A nearby neighbor keeps the grass cut, and a new memorial to his wife stands with the century-old markers. I met Vince ten years ago, but haven't seen him since. He was clearing off the years of brush and alder trees, and I'm thankful for the effort. Whether I'm sitting here in the sinking evening, or long and late through the star or moon-lit night, it means the world to me to have this mournful corner to myself. It's a good place to daydream.
