Park    tall    wall     iron            gate
        usually busy     now    not

        Lavish red
                        flowers
        spread          across
        decorate edges sealing
concrete                creeps
        onto brown earth
different days
        carefully placed people
would be visited here
in their new homes
evenly   placed         like
rows        of          trees
bricks      in           a wall
        that guards their resting place
hat in hands
they must visit
        between the hours listed
(the hospital has trained them to be docile)
time has no meaning here
except one day the
        lavish red flowers
will no longer be placed
on one grave
        and appear instead on
        a mound of fresh earth
