I bought a new dress

To decorate myself for 

Greif. 

Last month it was pants, 

The month before that a shirt---

But now that death becomes me well, 

I feel obligated to wear a skirt.

I bought a new dress, 

All black and soft,

Knowing the stains of sorrow

On my other clothes

will never rub off.
