ordering
a Christmas wreath
for my parents’ graves 
even though I know
they are not there

for Harold and Enola

Nanna’s grave says, “Born in Sweden” – my father’s mother.  My mother’s mother died a year before I was born, to the day.  She was German.  I think my art is from her.  Nanna loved her yard and I remember her kitchen.  My mother and father were teachers.

The wreath is courtesy of wpclipart.  I’ll add a few more pictures from there.
