Like leftover Christmas, broken Coke and Topo Crico bottles glitter beside the long-armed cross, full of her many names.
A second cross disintegrates – shards of white satin ribbon droop, ever more brittle and yellowed, while tiny Styrofoam hailstones drift down from the cross’s body, to lie caught up in weeds and glass.
A broken fence post, struggling to do its job, points straight to the crosses.
State Highway 17
