the physical presence of absence

Today I took some time to wander around the Greenmount Cemetery.
Undoubtably, this is the best grave marker in Baltimore. Elijah Jefferson Bond, "patentee of the Ouija Board".

I think I will need to do a performance at/on this grave... with a stone planchette.

Plus this gem. It is the top of a large marker/tomb that had a bonze grieve dropping bronze flowers on the grave covering. Most of the flowers have broken off - but there is an outline still from where they landed.
