She Built A New House

she built a new house
on top of a hill

she had it painted
and it looks like a grass

she installed a narrow door
and a cross in the middle

she is old
and i know she wanted

a tomb
a mausoleum

she wants me to write
a letter

and with all these
what i wrote sounded more

like a epitaph for
her

i remember this
'here lies
the body of a woman
untouched'
