Final
It’s not final,
If the person placing a flower by the grave…
Watching my hand reach out of the ground and grasp such flowers.
Grabbing them and pulling myself up like it’s a foothold…
Finality.
When something is final.
It’s like the last soccer game you played in high school.
It was nice.
She’s grabbing my ankle from the grave.
Just because I thought she was gone.
She’s not the zombie I would have expected.
Just has a flower.
I gave it to her but didn’t expect it to be like this.
Finality.
She has that flower still.
It’s been three days since she came back.
