Dispensation
Just because somebody dies
doesn't mean you have to get rid of them.
"I think I'll make her a guardian angel
and put her to work," I told Keddy.
I was referring to Susie, who died a year ago.
Anniversaries are hard.
There's something in us that's cynical
to the very day.
Ignore this at your peril.
And so, having gone through
grief, anger, frustration, guilt, you name it
having gone through it all
and still feeling unresolved,
I elect to appoint her a guardian angel
with all the privileges, honors
and responsibilities the office entails.
It will probably work: she liked angels a lot.
And it's a good decision:
I can't put her to rest
so I might as well put her to work.
Somewhere out there on the astral plane,
she nods her approval
and I feel her smile as,
humming an off-key hum,
she gets busy.
