making preparations

before she
she passed away
she dropped off all her
gifts
at the post office.
she cleaned her house.
watered each
plant,
the christmas tree
in the corner.
she paid all bills
and set them
out
where they could be found.
her papers
were neatly organized
on the table.
the last load of her
laundry done
and folded.
don't buy
us dinner yet she 
said cheerfully
on the phone,  three
days before she died.
