What is recorded here

West townplots hold a buried life, perhaps several, beneath soil that has forgotten the names of the dead. The plot boundary may have been drawn long after the last breath left the chamber, and the living may have walked across the grave without knowing it. What is missing is not the body but the witness: no one recorded the shape of the loss, so the earth keeps it private.
