Dead Again
Dead Again is the title of a 1991 movie that I loved. Popped in my head today and thought it might a good prompt. I hope you think so, too. Poetry or prose.
Death’s thoughts on a friend
the first time
she was young
and for a moment
we talked
about nothing
but flowers
two years more
she told me
her name's jean
and that she
hated outfits
with the color yellow
I lost track
until she
popped up
and said that
she was tired
of seeing me
another time
she said that
she would make
sure she would
not see me
until the end
a year after
her distraught
I told her
we can't stop
and that she
keeps dying
her second time
before her last
she told me
"Death I know
It's a curse
I will end"
Her last time
way too young
she did
