Saint Louis Cemetery Number One
October 31, 2012
In Cemetery Number One there are neglected tombs.
Some of them were damaged by Katrina. Some of them are just really old.
When I was exploring Cemetery Number One and came across these ruinous resting places, I tried to peek inside of them.
I’m not sure why I didn’t want anyone to see me doing that. So I was sneaky about it.
I felt like a peeping tom,
until I saw other people doing the same thing.
Then I just felt like an explorer- like Indiana Jones.

I do the same thing if a crypt door is ajar. I suppose it’s just morbid curiosity. Will we see bones? Mementos? A specter peering back at us?
I really like this response to “shame.” The cemeteries in N.O. are fascinating.
