the discount burial

there's

no stone, no marker,

no

bench to come sit

and remember

her by. there's

no indication as to where

she's buried.

it's just a rolling field

of grass.

even the cemetery

is a place

she's never

been to, nor any of her

children or

friends.

but someone found a coupon

and got

a deal

on the site.

i can her my mother

laughing

at it all, shaking her head

with delight.
