A Natural Resource
I found a spark in the Virginia City cemetery
Mary Anne Sparks
1824-1855
in repose
in reprose
gold struck again
gold rush rebegins
2011
the blog bleeps, I write
“will the cotton candy be replaced by water cannons?
“will the hills be torn athunder by torrents of water?”
to free little gold sparks to enrich the few
rewrite, repan, replay
a natural resource
them thar hills to be torn apart one last time
Mary Anne Sparks
will have to move forever
I am savoring the image of buried ancestors as creative "gold" and the way they continue to provide for us, as (literal and figurative) sparks! I love it!
