The Risks of Genealogy
A careful fiction undone
by one slight certificate— Hanged herself, stark on the line
where diphtheria should have been.
That fact, and nothing further
from this prim paper; this glimpse
at the sorrow of gone generations,
their silence reproachful and deafening across the years.
