I always mark the graves now
with a stone maybe,
not that I'm sentimental or religious
or afraid of digging them up
when I plant Spring bulbs,
it's just that he's less likely
to remove a stone from the sepulchre,
as it were, and ferry away the body,
prompting theories of resurrection,
and more likely to leave the dead wren,
or fledgling whatever, just where it is
to rest in peace.
