The Third

If it happens

This will be the third I’ve gone to

In a year

The third funeral

The third loss

The third death

They’ve already begun planning it

Before he’s even dead

How can they?

How can they look at this like it’s normal?

Like it’s natural?

Because it’s not

It may seem like a lost cause

And maybe it is

But why must we think of this now?

Now, when it has not yet happened?

I know it might

I know it probably will

But why do we have to act like it has already happened?
