all the weeping has been done

it's an old
cemetery. 
one squared off
in a different century,
barred in black iron,
tall oaks split by
a curved road
and grass.
but even the ones
who religiously
visited
the tilted stones
are gone now, 
flowers
are rare, the benches
are empty
near the tombs,
there's no more weeping,
all the weeping
has been done.
