My great great great great grandfather,
a confederate soldier,
buried in Alabama.
His wife's headstone reads,
"wife"
Grandfather Armagost laughs,
"It was commissioned by the nation."
If he hadn't fought she'd have gone
unremembered
better left for dead,
a stone carved,
"wife".
three marriages
twenty- one children
"They weren't dispersed evenly",
Grandmother remarks.
insufficient decay
corpse of battle's justice
blind to boundaries
kin to borderline personality
Nation:
woman #3
