Showing Him Someone Cares

she christens the lake where her lover’s body was found
they say suicide, she thinks murder.
no one will convince her otherwise.
there are sides of him you did not know, his mother said.
maybe the worst mother in history.
She puts the flowers into the water, letting them drift.
confident they will find their way to his spirit,
showing him that someone cares very much about his journey
