Conflicted Expectations: A Wayback Wednesday (8/16/17) #Thanksgiving gone wrong #writephoto #haibun

Memorial Stone: A .@ImageCurve #haibun
Mom and I see the headstone. Salmon, just as we chose. Smooth on top and along the sides, it emerges from a rough base of the same hue. Scattered grass grows on the flattened earth six feet in front of it. We remove the in-ground matching vases. Struggle to insert the simple bouquets we bought…
