They Spoke to Her

They spoke of her

With truth, love,

Vulnerability


Each was touched to know here

It was plain

For all to see


“75 is a good age”

“She lived life without fear!”

(then, with a furtive wink)

“How I wish that she was here…”


And she was, because

She’d planned this gathering

“Fuck funerals” she’d said

“Why party when I’m dead?!?”


When she received the news

She invoked her right to choose

And partied with them, now, instead
