her son was an alcoholic

he drank until his organs forgot

to recuperate the damages done

he died four months afore his wedding

so when the ones around her prayed

for parents and grandparents 

on ching ming day

she prayed two legged

in front of his grave

son gone afore her own

her own

own death was coming soon

dear brothers next

those brothers gone

eventually forgotten

left with a lawn of weed growing

on his bare grave

sitting lonely

sober

on ching ming day
