Pine Grove Cemetery

Shelburne, NS

Eye just visited

M(eye) Brother’s Grave —

@ first Eye couldn’t find it —

low to the ground is the stone

etched w/ the first bar of Fur Elize

which Howard taught His Niece Eliza

about 25 years ago —

butt Time doesn’t matter

in  a cemetery —

only the two scraps of red fabric

apparently blown from somewhere else

& settled in to either side

marking His Territory

until Eye next arrive
