she walked in the rain
straw hat, blue faded dress
with memories no longer remembered
only imprinted on photos and journals
on children's baby clothes
her hands mindless
picking at invisible threads
of death
she was old
gray hairs adorned
fretted with gold
a small wrinkled face
with insipid blue eyes
her son once visited
a rose in his hand
she looked past him
towards a bird who arrived
she walked in the rain
with her blue faded dress
she only waited
for her black gowned lady friend
|
Submission Name: She who waits for death
