FELDKLAVIER

at the edge of the field
where the boy was shot
by a crazy old farmer
both barrels it's said
for stealing sweetcorn

a wooden shrine
lacquered black
pitched roof
flower holder
filled with wildflowers

beneath Christ crucified
a photograph
somewhat faded
of a young teen laughing
playing the piano
