Short bread cookie tin

 

Planting the azalea

She dug up cow bones

The marrow rotting

In to the earth

 

Rinsed in the sink

Hoping to impress

Her grandsons

A forensic moment

 

Placing the bones

In an old cookie tin

Tempted to dig again

Baked a pie instead

 

Glancing at the tin

The old woman smiled

One day a good place

To keep my ashes
