In memoriam - BV
Funeral Parlour
Jess
it's been years
and now
It is my turn
Remember that place
Where grandpa lay in a coffin
And you stood nose high at his feet
You said “why are were here mummy why is grandpa sleeping in this funny quiet place and people wearing shades and the sun is not shining and there are lights all over mummy mummy tell me"
And the only words I found then were
Grandpa is in heaven shush
And you said when we were leaving
When do we come back to heaven Mum?
Well Jess
You’re here

this is so beautiful and somehow makes me unutterably sad.
