Juxtaposed

Nudged against a narrow gravel shoulder, the mailbox with toucan-colored wings and bird head and feet and tail has guts of bills, credit card offers, catalogs.
Yards away, the black rough bark of a thick tree contradicts JMG's white cross.
A semi-circle of rocks below the tree holds a single faded plastic rose.
State Highway 51
