The Square Graveyard

The Square Graveyard is a cemetery in County Tipperary, Ireland. Perhaps the square shape marks a boundary drawn for people who refused to occupy more than their share of earth. Maybe the graves sit inside that limit like stones in a shallow basin, waiting for rain to fill the empty corners. Imagine a dead person turning over beneath the soil, measuring the walls and accepting the smallness because the alternative is to disappear without a shape at all.
