Alfredo got a new cross

Cupped by the road’s downhill curve, the stand of overgrown trees crowds two crosses, their shameless whiteness rising suddenly in the descending darkness.
Both crosses keep the same red-on-white color scheme, though rust spots escape the paint on the flower-ornamented shorter one.
Where does this end? Will the bearer of flowers have to place an even taller marker?
Santa Rosa, New Mexico
