Frenier is the sang — the 'porch rocked' that's the guitar played, the 'take you all' that's the song's promise. The 'funeral met' is the timed — the 'burying her' that's the '15 day, the 'storm came' that's the 4 o'clock's hit. The 'depot crushed' is the died — the '25 inside' that's the shelter's lie, the '300 gone' that's the parish's toll.
The 'healer was' is the turned — the 'no doctors' that's the town's want, the 'taken granted' that's the curse's cause. The 'coffin floated' is the told — the 'swamp took' that's the grave's move, the 'mass grave' that's the mourners' share. Frenier is the sunk — the 'town gone' that's the water's keep, the 'screams heard' that's the swamp's haunt.
The file keeps Frenier: the sung curse, the funeral storm, the crushed depot, and the sunken town.
Frenier is the archive's Louisiana file — the town Julia Brown took with her.
