10 years later, the hog house has sunk into the ground. i remember it full of hogs, i remember it full of broken and useless things, i remember it abandoned to rust and wind, and now i remember it into the ground. it was not always so.

mama remembers it being built, remembers the sounds and smells of hog slaughtering days, remembers the black grease stains on the ground.

her mama remembers it all, but she is gone and her memories gone with her.
