Memorial Day
Cold roan light, rainy day
The open barbecue pit filling apathetically
The unfinished patio subsiding
In the unsodded weed tortured lawn
These are the joys of spring
This is the first day of summer
And something in the back of the mind twitches
Something we’re supposed to remember
Like a distant baby crying
We hear a soldier dying
So on this one day
We don’t go to work
And cancel barbecues
And watch the rain
