Ahh It is so much better! Lots more editing! Thank you Laura and Katie- rewriting is always better with a friend!

The Scattered Eulogy

A farmer’s market-
Johnny’s mom                                
checks them off

they are                                              dripping
Mr. Chan’s sprinkler.

She drips layers,
pollutes telescopes,
dyes starchy sheets red,
they scribble down my driveway; 
                           ricotta                                               
  hides
the pan with aluminum foil. 

When you squeeze tears out,
she covers herself in black,
                                                            dripping                
I attend the funeral
                                   
where you sit, cry,
and eat lasagna.
