thoughts on thursday ...

 


  It rained all day yesterday.
The view out the office window made me think of a cemetery I once visited...

On a winding, isolated road 
in the Michigan Upper Peninsula,
I saw a sign for the Irish Hollow Cemetery near Rockland.
It was a cold, foggy, October day, 
the trees were colored in reds, oranges, and yellows.
I was in Ontonagon for a meeting
at the Forest Service office there.
I made a detour into this old cemetery
on the drive home.

It was worth it for creepy atmosphere in the fading daylight.
But I wouldn't wanted to be there after dark.

  1. It sounds like the start of a spooky adventure, if you ever wanted to write one.
