and brother
quarreled over the grave site.
the marker
and stone
bench.
they went cheap on the coffin,
negotiating as they
had been
since the age of ten.
and the final fight was on
the place
where
she'd rest for eternity,
her bones
at least.
a last argument, fortunately
unheard
by mother, who at that point
was fast asleep.
