Everybody should read this poem.  One of your best, Phil.  I will comment in greater detail later.

Thanks (I think!)

Thanks Dave. One of my most personal since I live near that valley.

Phil, I think that accounts for the cinematic detail of the thing, but that is a fraction of its greatness.  The personal ones are the hardest to bring into the realm of Art.  They are sometimes decades in the making.  This one was worth the wait.  I'm still holding back my more detailed responses, want everyone to experience it the way I did.

Yes, there was an earlier version, years ago, but it was a visit in September that clarified. My brother-in-law took me there for my birthday! Seeing their gravestones obviously had an impact.
