Epitaph De Mortua
For my love I shall not grieve.
I shall let the spider weave
a dusty shroud about her naked limbs
and let the ragged pall
of a lost time cover all
the memories that malice never dims. |
De Mortua

great read

I don't know why, but everytime I read this I visualise a man standing outside a cave, looking out across a valley, and inside is his love, quite dead.
You've managed, in this series, to produce imagery that is startling, mesmerising, shocking but no less beautiful every single time.
A beautiful dark poem that has, once again, touched me deeply.
best wishes
