Permalink Submitted by sanexpeditus on Tue, 2013-01-29 15:53

Fantastic! This is really superb poetry, a classic example of 'word economy' that paints a thousand pictures with so few. From cremation, to confession, to the twitching of curiosity and the anticipation of pleasure, to the tissued farewell to a loved one... very clever writing, so many portraits within such a slender stem of description. Bravo!

Thanks for your kind comment
