Yellow Found<\/h2>\n

by Larry D. Thacker<\/p>\n

I walked over the entire three acres of cemetery land,
\nthe middle of the city, like back when graveyards began
\nin the center of towns, this one well over century ago,
\ntown founders near the middle with over-watcher obelisks
\nand squares and compasses and bold old names, lichens
\npatching along the corners of chipped but well-made
\nstones purchased with old money still around in town,<\/p>\n

but I could not find another tiny patch of yellow crocuses
\nlike I\u2019d found at the entrance on that mid-February day
\nno matter how I searched, these fooled out of the ground,
\ntempted out, like the beams of sun this day and the warmth
\nfinally on my face as I moved out from under the cedars.<\/p>\n
