Voices

The file is labeled:
“I’m Dead, Now What?"
My wife compiled it knowing that I am ill-prepared.
to run my own life without specific instructions.
She is not dead yet,
not even ill,
even so, voices from her future grave
have begun to haunt me.
Now I am scared to live on after she has gone,
and the voices in my head
seem to be enjoying these thoughts.
