ALIFAH OMAR

To be heard… 

You think the dead are really listening? Have you ever stood over a grave, which ain’t nothin’ but a bunch of grass, and talked to it? I’ve visited … thought something miraculous or celestial would happen but there was nothing. I remember the white light of the sun behind some clouds. I remember the cemetery caretaker on the grounds looking as creepy as what you’d expect someone in a horror film to look like. I spoke some words to the grass. The grass didn’t respond back. So, I left. 

Just send flowers next time.
