Dead Women

[bon_bon_lives]

I buried my grandmother at 19

I buried my mother at 22

I buried my best friend at 34

All these women

All my dead women

I saw their bodies and their faces

I saw their hair and their closed eyes

I even kissed them

Kissed dead skin

I wept tears on dead flesh

I howled and bellowed like an animal

I showed my animal truth

No words can express true grief

I'm treading on sacred ground here; you are Elizabeth and I am so sorry to meet you. I'm so sorry to intrude on this most special entry of yours, but it's recent and so is this pain
