Lady

Follow me forward, she said
And I followed her side
Forgive me for lying, she said
and I cried.
For there is no friendship in both being blind.
After she died, I had a dream she was alive
and came to me, all dressed in white like a bride.
Look what I give to you, she said
smiling and shaking her head
"not that fruit, but this one instead."
and taking my hand, she placed it on her womb.
Confused, I said, "But our son is dead!"
"No," she said. "This one is new."
