This is my family's plot at Resurection Cemetery in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. My eventual resting place is next to the backgound flowers, just to the right of it. In front of the stone lie: my mother, brother, and uncle. Behind it are: another uncle, his wife and daughter (a cousin).

This poem is a Triversen, which I was introduced to by tfawcus, a fellow FanStorian, when I reviewed his poem, Obsidian.

The Triversen was developed by William Carlos Williams. I would consider it a structured subcategory of freeverse. Here are the rules.
a. Each stanza is one sentence.
b. Each sentence/stanza breaks into 3 lines (each line is a separate phrase in the sentence).
c. Each line contains between one and four strong stresses.
d. The poem as a whole adds up to 18 lines (or 6 stanzas).
e. The lines do not employ rhyme.

The photograph was taken by the author himself on May 25,2015.
