an obituary for someone elses farm
using maps to decipher land
for reference
I use pivots no longer in existence
dried up circles
evaporated on outdated maps
Im sending letters to dead farmers
IN a dead mans office i find
large pine cones
boots
maybe his seed corn caps
everything still frozen in place
like a shrine
important
notes and phone numbers
no longer used on a disconnected phone
these letters go unnoticed
they wait in boxes
or are sent to fraudulent land trusts
forgotten by trusties
