Grave

You would have to say, the woman was a constant visitor.

Every day, at the same time, she would come into the cemetery carrying a large bag and take from it her little fold-up stool. At this same grave, with its marble headstone, she would settle down for anything up to an hour. She would talk to him constantly, only taking the occasional breather to pause and look around at what she saw was a lovely and fitting environment for him. Then, there was the sadness. The self-recrimination, the crying and the ongoing guilt. It is not clear what brings this on so regularly during her times there. Perhaps she was in some way responsible for his passing. Maybe, she had seen him off and had managed to get away with it; or there again, maybe she hadn’t.

Meanwhile, there are times when she, the one that constantly listens to these communications, tires of them. She tires of the repetition. Although, she thinks it’s all quite understandable, she knows that the man that the woman comes to visit has fully passed over long ago.

Whereas, she, his old neighbour, on the other hand…hasn’t!
