Evocation
From the burial
grounds of Old Metairie
& hallways thru pyramids
with unnumbered bones
to the 3 St. Louises
& live oaks of Cypress Grove
onward we carry
whatever has traced our
way. So might the soil
turn over -- Apparitions
come forth, this path
hath only one following
one way to get away.
East of these walls
& never to be returned
let it be said
the oath has been told
sold for the taking. Not
again will these vaults
faces hide, never
to end their dens
which do not stop
but drop to that final place
where all is erased.
