What Do You See Out There?

"Mama?"
"Mm?"
"Mom?"
"Yes."
"I was wondering about dying."
"..."
"Lettie said that when you die a man with a white face and black robes comes and takes your soul right out of your mouth, and that your soul looks like the bud of a small white flower with a firefly trapped inside. I told Lettie she was a liar because I hadn't heard anything like that before and Lettie says a lot of things. But is it true? Is it really like that, Mama?"
"..."
"Mom?"
"Mm?"
"Is it true?"
"No dear, death isn't beautiful. Not like that."
"Is that why you wait by the window?"
"..."
"What are you looking for, Mama? What do you see out there?"
