Mourning

Lisa Cappiello

As a child
I used to feel sorry for the old Italian women who wore black lace veils that concealed their faces
I couldn’t understand why
despite the season or weather
they wore the veils
for weeks
sometimes months
after their loved ones passed
but they had the right idea
For the last four months, I have been mourning the death of
my traditional nuclear family
my sister’s innocence
my father’s indestructibility
and my power to remain unfazed by the heaviness of the world around me

Since I opted not to wear a black lace veil
no one had any idea I was in mourning
and proceeded to assume
I was fine
