Funeral
I felt a funeral in my brain, before it even happened
I knew it was going to eventually come, but not this soon
The smell of dead, rotting flesh… before she was even dead
I felt a funeral in my brain, before it even happened
I saw it coming, in the back of my head
Mourners sitting down, silent, waiting for what is to come
I felt a funeral in brain, before it even happened
Lying down in the bed looking as if her neck was snapped like a stick, but it wasn’t
Old swing music playing from the depths of the room
I felt a funeral in my brain, before it even happened
A small blur on the CAT scan the first time, the second time it was a tumor
The sound of a slowly beeping heart monitor, that wasn’t even there
I felt a funeral in my brain, before it even happened
The constant flow of strangers in and out of the house
Warm, bony hands gripping, not wanting to let go
I felt a funeral in my brain, before it even happened
Endless cards from old friends lined up on the windowsill
The occasional nurse visits, and hushed whispers about what is to come
I felt a funeral in my brain, before it even happened
Vibrant flower arrangements reminding people of the person she once was
I felt a funeral in my brain, then realized I was at one
