Sudden Losses

Her ghost comes around.  Makes small popping sounds.  Her death, ricochet of many questions.   Around us, landscape on fire.  I add the Bible to the box in the back of my car,  early plans for potential evacuation.  Scripted inside, tree limbs of births and deaths.  Those relatives I remember  yet the milestones harder to conjure.  We were married in the year of our daughter’s birth.  Hammock between occurrences.   Ledger of access for those left behind.
