She was a great lady,
changed my life.
Solemn strangers loom over me,
touching my shoulders.
Fake smiles,
faint I'm sorry whispers.
She lay in the box stiff cold.
Who is this woman?
Not my grandma, no, not my Grammy.
Sniffles.
They're going to close the door now.
Say goodbye, Laney, say goodbye.
I try to hold my breath,
push tears back.
Not today. No rain today.
A rumble from my throat shakes my frame
and the furious waters break my levees.
We drive too far.
A long line of cars.
She was a great woman,
changed my life.
We walk through the trees.
The strangers envelop me.
Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.
Take a flower.
Say goodbye, Laney, say goodbye.
And we're gone.
