She was in my dream last night
She was in my dream last night.
My friend from so long ago.
Is it a sign I should visit her grave?
Is it time to make that pilgrimage?
Am I ready?
Have I fully accepted it, 10 years later?
I wonder about her family.
They were there too, but not how they'd probably be today
They were the same they were so many years ago.
Her oldest brother, the second child, must be out of high school now.
The youngest as I knew her to be just a baby then, probably a preteen now
Did they have more children?
What must it have been like to lose a sibling in that way?
When she came to me, we talked about so many things from the past
Squirt, Junior, Rascal, Rasmussen, I ... I didn't add my last name
Why didn't I?
We talked about the books we wrote together
I couldn't recall their name
I think she wants me to go ...
to visit her ...
to see her ...
now.
