We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo

"Look over there, now they are coming, Godknows says, and we see the mourners bursting from behind the big anthill and coming towards Heavenway. They are here to bury Bornfree even though they were told what would happen if they were found doing it. We are watching it this way because we can't go to the funeral since children are not allowed inside Heavenway. But what the adults don't know is that we sneak in whenever we want to watch funerals like this, or just to roam around or even play.

...

I used to be very afraid of graveyards and death and such things, but not anymore. There is just no sense being afraid when you live so near [the graves]; it would be like the tongue fearing the teeth."
