the work of mourning
she took the branch from the tree
salted the earth with her tears
as she wrapped it for the journey
she planted it in the garden
there between the spring flowers
the crocuses, the daffodils, all unseen
now she sits amongst the lilac blossom
the leaves whispering around her
it is not grief they speak, but memory
