the funeral director’s daughter

Chris Butler

I met her at the funeral
of my former lover,
as she greeted the
spectators
and collected their
black jackets.

She wore a black dress,
black hair, black nails,
black eyes and a
blank stare.

After the ceremony,
we strolled
through the cemetery,
while I pilfered
flowers from forgotten
graves for her pleasure,
and we pictured
our matching heart-
shaped caskets,

until she left me
for a dead guy,
once she realized
that I was alive.
