Question

wichita mourning
david matherne
pipe organs - dusty and tarnished -
bellowed the ancient song,
as movers carried the pews
for one last time.
frozen branches - heavy with ice arms - 5
couldnt perform their dance,
as workmen shuffled inside
the worn - out floors.
sally richards - broken and mourning -
watched while her father left, 10
as painters brought in their cans
for the first time.
stained - glass windows - buckled and broken -
surveyed commotions cause
as commerce won in the end 15
yet one more time.
reverend richards - feeble and finished -
cried as his exit was lost
on christians who worshiped the dime;
a change of the times. 20
the word choices in this poem indicate that the setting is
a a church somewhere in kansas.
b a graveyard deep in a pine forest.
c an old museum no one visits anymore.
d a gymnasium suffering financial problems.
