An Old Family Cemetery
headstones, row after row, like jagged teeth
with old, bleached bones beneath
each stone etched with family memories
each stone names family histories
a wealth of generational information
some from the founding of the nation
a treasure trove for a genealogist
and plenty of stories for a mythologist
all of the family’s ancestors
are in the cemetery sequestered
