I will bring the flowers
You bring the shovel.
Let us justify our genders in the response towards death.
You use your arms
and
I will use my tears.
I will receive help
but
you may not.
I think you should go back to work
tomorrow.
But I will stay.
I think you will be okay.

I will bring the flowers
You bring the shovel.
Let us justify our genders in the response towards death.
You use your arms
and
I will use my tears.
I will receive help
but
you may not.
I think you should go back to work
tomorrow.
But I will stay.
I think you will be okay.
I was inspired by the two separate ways genders are pressured to grieve.
