who's next, she asks

the widow puts aside
her black
dress, her black veil
of mesh
her black
coat,
the black
umbrella and the rest,
then looks into the mirror
and thinks
who's next
as she applies red
lipstick.
to her pouting lips.
after all it's been almost
a week
since the dearly
departed
has made his long
awaited exit.
