Confetti (Free verse) by Caducus
I held confetti
how I used to hold your finger
when your arms were my loom,
a hundred burials ago.
Your groom smile greeting,
killed me.
It killed your little girl.
Making me bury you on your wedding day,
with a nine year old girl and her brother
that you once held like her,
and now unfurled, as daughters confetti.
I held my husband
how you used to grip my finger
and I cry in his arms
how I did in yours
a hundred burials ago.
