DRIVING PAST THE FREEDMEN'S CEMETERY <br> 
 <br> 
 Here at the South <br> 
 in a dry August <br> 
 rain on black pavement <br> 
 conjures up ghosts <br> 
 all the more eerie <br> 
 because they are white <br> 
 and pools on the ground <br> 
 as if the red clay <br> 
 were already soaked <br> 
 and red from that soaking. <br> 
 <br>
