memorial service

at memory cove
memories
flowers
twins
Prayer of St. Francis
men speaking
Chris (grandson)
David (son-in-law)
Chuck (son)
Charlie (husband) declines to sing
and finally the great
grandkids open
a gift wrapped box
release a flock of
monarch
butterflies
they momentarily land
on shirts, heads, fingertips
see them around
all day
reminding me
of Jackie
on her
winged way home
