It wasn't so much the words she wrote

it was more the way she depicted the disappearance

of 'The Dead Girl's Coat'

to actually think someone could have disposed of it

in a dump

builds up in my dry throat a very large big lump

her parents surely would have wanted it back

for mere keepsake alone

who else could have wanted it as much

well, that is not yet known

what would she herself have done with it had she

had the chance to have grown

possibly throw it out with the garbage

how ironic

or handed out to a close friend as a

permanent loan

the tattered truth will likely stay buried like an

old dog's long forgotten bone

but with the shifting of the evidence over a period

of many years

arrows will someday be shown

and alas comes the drying of our untouched tears

I miss you Joan.....................
