Cholera Burial Ground

Cholera Burial Ground is a cemetery in County Mayo, Ireland. Perhaps cholera emptied entire households in a single summer and the dead were cut from the fields before the heat could touch them. Maybe the soil still remembers the weight of so many bodies dropped so quickly that no grave marker could be set. Imagine a child running barefoot across the ground, certain the dead are dancing beneath her feet because the fields tremble when she stamps.
