Children play war games
in the abandoned graveyard,

Jasper Stark
1843-1897
gigolo, cardsharp,

fratricide

darting from one canted
and fading stone to another,

Tom Woolery
1835-1905
abusive husband,

molesting father

their shouts and cries
resounding in the silence.

Lydia MacFadden
1868—1894

whore, thief,
murderess


Beyond the graveyard,
far as the eye can see,

Anton York
1877--1918

charlatan, forger,
serial rapist


unbroken prairie stretches
to the horizon.

Appleared in Dreams and Nighmares
