Written for the Carpe Diem Challenge #7: write a Tan Renga.
Tan Renga is a two stanza poem with 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllables (5-7-5-7-7). Unlike a Tanka written by one poet, Tan Renga is written by two. Poet One writes the 5-7-5 and Poet Two completes 7-7.

decomposed flowers
silent witness of a relative

companion of memories
surrounded by etched marble

Very nice completion of the Tan renga Becca, I like the way how you’ve completed it by writing about a graveyard, without mentioning the word ‘graveyard’, very well done.
