Marigolds

Assembled from scraps of prose:


I wonder about the saints around this time of year.
I wondered about your Mama, about your sisters and your Papa.
I wondered about your house and the marigolds.
I went to the cold church, but I only shivered in the cold pew.  
In there the pews were cold and the air was hard in there.
Marigolds on every year the day means more.
I never really knew you, Salvador.
