Rows of graves in the foreground lead back toward a red brick fence at the lower third of the picture plane. Tall red brick tower on the right. Green vegetation occupies the upper right corned, above a blurry hazy rising moon. The tower has St Bernard Parish on it, written vertically. Acrylic paint on canvas.

For those living in Chalmette, Louisiana

Snow in Chalmette falls,
Gators wear scarves, cold and weird
Crawdads freeze mid-boil.
