I will fix up
her guitar now
she is dead,
now it is no
longer a symbol
for how I felt
every day since.
Now it is just
an unused
instrument.
We received her
ashes in an urn
and brought them
home to our
windowsill.
I will bring her
guitar back
with a wet cloth
and new strings
for our concert
when we move
her urn to the
center of the
living room
and sing to her.
