I got the word,"Audrey!Katie!"
Ten years old.       
my dad called down,
tears in his eyes,
face red and sullen,
I don't know why,
but since Monday,
he's been emotional,
the news slipped ,
like silk through my hand.
I saw it coming,
in my head I knew,
death was spelt across the room.
My great grand father ,
he was gone,
he left on Monday ,
the last that I saw him was ,
The afternoon before  .
Emotion struck me like a lightning bolt ,
The whole night ,
It stuck with me ,
As I cried until darkness numbed my mind.
my next sight was the yellow haze of dawn
I felt drips on my face.
I didn't want to go ,
but I did, 
A black skirt and leggings.
A Dark button up.
It matched the mood.
at the funeral ,
I hid in the bathroom ,
For half an hour at least .
Until my mom came in and knocked on the stall.
She dragged me out.
I don’t know how long it took but it  wasn’t quick
In the procession line my dad pointed out my great grandfather's old house.
It only made it worse.
Lot 12 is were he was.
Consumed by the ground.
As he went I remembered the note I wrote
and the fake daisy I threw.
