planting bones

By John C., Troy, OH

yesterday
she parted the soil
soft sepia granules invited
her ripe fingers
to lay her tribute of seeds
tenderly into the ground
today
I part the soil
soft sepia granules invite
my unripe fingers
to lay my tribute of her bones
tenderly into the ground
and wait for the bloom
