Dirge

Playing it

Doleful,
Sorrowful,

Full of woe,
Full of rue,

Full of row
Upon row

Of sallow faces
Facing the music,

Playing it dreadfully,
Playing it dreadfully

Cool.

  1. This verse creates wonderful images and sounds in my mind - row upon row of sallow faces.

    For me it has a 'masochistic' quality that clicks in place with the last word, cool.

  2. Delightful.

    The sound, I found, goes round and ’round....

    William,

    Round and round it goes and where it stops--everybody knows.

    Thanks to you both.
