Resting Place

My mother gave me pictures of her
and her son
both dead
We all die sooner or later
No one comes into the world
thinking she will suffer a lingering, painful death
or that he will die of a ruptured ulcer
We all die quickly or slowly
We all die of trivial things
which is not supposed to happen
or so our rebellious minds wail
She gave me pictures
of a dead woman and her dead son
They are still in the envelope
what’s left of a dead woman and her son
Where to bury the bodies
Where to put the ashes
