(NaPoWriMo) No. 30 is it true that people
is it true that people
sometimes hand down the ashes
of their dead
on purpose,
or do they just happen to leave them
behind
for others’ decisions
because they could never bear
to let them go
in their own lifetime,
because they couldn’t imagine
the right time or perfect place
that could hold
such beloved ashes forever
for them?

I can't even bury my dog's ashes. It's ridiculous.
Congratulations, poet sister.
This one really speaks to me. Zann, I can tell I'm going to have to spend more time at your blog!
