Sitting in the cemetery
Drawing headstones and burial monuments
She was overcome with sadness
A lump in her chest that arose, unexpectedly
The concrete angel knelt above her on a small stone
Limp wings behind slumped shoulders
Plaintive hands with open palms aimed skyward
Her drawings were pencil
Black and grey mostly
But on this occasion she added a single spot of blue
Under one eye
The title of the drawing she wrote later,
on the reverse side
