Improv (Week 4)



Child Burial – Paula Meehan

Your coffin looked unreal,
a dust soaked mirage.
Last week I watched
as you climbed, giggling,
to the top of a pink dogwood.


Ripping back my arm,
The chainsaw comes to life.
Thousands of blossoms,
As delicate as children,
Crumble to my feet.
Life cut short.
