Last Spring

Last Spring
– Renee Adele Phillips

Is acceptance the 5th stage of stage IV?
Not for her.
She cannot accept that the end has begun
and she must say goodbye to so much,
even to mourning doves and morning coffee,
to blooming lilacs and the blooms of daisies
on the dress she’ll never have the chance to wear.
