It's cool in the garden, cool and misty,
and she dreams that her husband's hand is
on her shoulder, in her hair,
his head resting on her shoulder,
watching the dew glisten on the flowers.

He's not there.
She knows he's not there.
He died a year ago, she buried him,
she killed him and she buried him.
It's only a dream, she knows it's only a dream.

But she clings to the moment,
to the dream of his hands on her,
his love cocooning her
the way it used to, because,
More than anything, she wishes it was real.

Nice use of the prompt "Mist"; it's all very dreamlike, especially the first bit.

This is both haunting and really well put-together. Thank you!

Poor Nida. :( I shouldn't feel this bad for someone who just murdered somebody, and yet.
