The Anguish

The Anguish An old memory inhabits the shadowland she had a headache, doctors made tests, yes, her case was fatal After the funeral, her sister arranged coffee and cakes and sandwiches. Relatives eyed the furniture and her many dresses since most of the things in the flat had belonged to the departed some of the stuff would fall to them. I found this distressing and hoped the wake would be over they did leave and left me to do the washing up. Her presence was strong, she filled my thoughts was as I could hear her talk. Gradually she let go and got her golden memory of love.
