In View of the Fact
By A. R. Ammons
The people of my time are passing away: my
wife is baking for a funeral, a 60-year-old who
died suddenly, when the phone rings, and it's
Ruth we care so much about in intensive care:
it was once weddings that came so thick and
fast, and then, first babies, such a hullabaloo:
now, it's this that and the other and somebody
else gone or on the brink: well, we never
thought we would live forever (although we did)
and now it looks like we won't: some of us
are losing a leg to diabetes, some don't know
what they went downstairs for, some know that
a hired watchful person is around, some like
to touch the cane tip into something steady,
so nice: we have already lost so many,
brushed the loss of ourselves ourselves: our
address books for so long a slow scramble now
are palimpsests, scribbles and scratches: our
index cards for Christmases, birthdays,
Halloweens drop clean away into sympathies:
at the same time we are getting used to so
many leaving, we are hanging on with a grip
to the ones left: we are not giving up on the
congestive heart failure or brain tumors, on
the nice old men left in empty houses or on
the widows who decide to travel a lot: we
think the sun may shine someday when we'll
drink wine together and think of what used to
be: until we die we will remember every
single thing, recall every word, love every
loss: then we will, as we must, leave it to
others to love, love that can grow brighter
and deeper till the very end, gaining strength
and getting more precious all the way...

Sunday was as gorgeous as Saturday, clear and not too warm. Unfortunately there were many chores to be done, and why does the day after Daylight Savings Time ends always seem too short even though we gain an hour? I was up too late last night (1 a.m. though it was 2 a.m. as far as my body was concerned, we'd just turned the clocks early) looking at Mars, and then wide awake at 7:30 even though I could have slept another hour before the kids had to get ready for Hebrew school. I'm working in my younger son's classroom tomorrow with a Halloween project, forgot to buy glue today, must do that in the morning; had to get some stuff ready for that, and do some cleaning since we will have people in our hall all evening Monday evening -- we usually take turns trick-or-treating with the kids and giving out the candy at home. We haven't even carved the pumpkins!
In the evening I went with
I have missed visiting
In honor of Halloween, here are photos of the "Blair Witch Project" church and graveyard near Burkittsville, Maryland. This is the creepiest cemetery I have ever walked in, because the stones have been so ravaged (some have been uprooted from the ground entirely, some cracked, while some are jutting up with their bottoms visible). The ground was very soft this weekend after all the October rains and my feet kept sinking into the ground. I was terrified of stepping into an unmarked grave and left very quickly. The state is definitely aware that people stop here as a tourist destination, though, because while there was nowhere to park for a quarter mile last time we were up this way, there is now a pull-off with signs about the Civil War marches along Gapland Road directly across from the church.
Behind this 1871 tombstone, you can see others propped against the tree, no longer standing at the heads of the graves they once marked.
Of the 1800s stones, this one is in the best shape. There are some much newer stones -- servicemen from the two world wars and civilians buried as late as the 1960s.
This has nothing to do with the church -- it's
And while I'm behind a cut, quizzes:
MINSTREL
You are the Minstrel, the
artistic and introspective personalitys in
fantasy. Minstrels can range from court bards
to wandering performers willing to play their
instruments or sing in any inn they come upon
just to earn some money. Minstrels are very
creative and are naturally artistic. They are
often deep, quiet, and philosophical. Their
thoughts and ideas can be very profound.
Minstrels usually have a way with words or
music. These artists see the beauty around us
or delve within themselves and produce
something new that is truly
wonderful.
