Obituary

When they write 
my obituary, 
my life will seem 
painfully dull. 
They will name 
my parents, 
my children, 
small towns 
in smaller print. 
But they will not know 
my story.  
It begins like this: 
once upon a time.

Once upon a time 
there was a girl 
who loved a boy- 
a boy whose laughter 
was a question 
she wanted to spend 
her whole life answering, 
and so she did. 

What more 
could it possibly 
say?
