Grave Whispering

Grave Whispering

He died
before me -
tears
one grieves -
grave whispering

pillow case
drinks
salt water tears -
as if a child
cried

should it be
only children
fear
night?

pillow case
drinks
salt water tears -
childhood
returns

fear of night
in darkness
the Blessed
Virgin Mary
watched.

Is - he watching?
