Lilette Seguin
NEE ET DÉCÉDÉE LE 2 AVRIL 1928
Cimetière neuf. Beaded mourning wreaths in glass boules. Enamel plaques with family names. Regrets. The maiden, looking skyward, holding her own wreath, hand over her heart. Famille Dethel. It's almost 8 pm. The breeze is warm. Cigales still chattering in the trees. It has flooded here - how many years ago? Silty layers, cracked by the sun. No footprints to smooth the reminders of the winter rains.
