The Graveyard At Night
By: G.G.Stoctay

You are walking at night around a curbed oval of infants' graves.
At the hub, a concrete Madonna, speckled with moonlight, caresses armless Jesus.
Tambourines of ancient tremulous oaks agitate the moon rays.
You hear anguished squalling of babies.
A skunk sniffing out carrion waddles over a brass marker.
Grinning, the skunk scratches up a diminutive ulna.
