A Comeback

Friday...
After ten or so years...
My feet led me to my last memory of her...
First of June...

Her grave lie beneath an old tree
I've got nothing to place at her head
Not even a candle
Not even a flower

Her grass used to be trimmed
Green as the bermuda supposed to be
But it is now withered...dried up
There are other dead people beside her now

I don't know why I can't even get close
Maybe because I've changed a lot
Or maybe because I just don't want to remember
How she was buried 23 years ago

Mary June Abella Torrefranca Taotjo
June 2, 1957 to November 6, 1984
...a beginning...and an end
