Copper Feathered Hat Deep Blue Dress

Cobbled stones  dappled  sunlight  Summer hills
Dizzying swarm of relatives+friends fill the house
Feasting family table for  household and guests 
Touching voices singing praise breathing grace 
Wild climbing roses loved him to  the very bone
Waved  threw  flowers  and  cried out  his name
Candles  flickered  men  talked in  grave voices
Spanish leather boots dice musician  two lutes
Pearly skin a thousand kisses inspired  to sing
Tiny cherry chains studded rare saphires within
Delicatessan  bakery  merchants  fishmongers
Dazzling  smile   brandy  barrels mixing vapours                        
Dark red rhubarb blood trickling down his cheek
Rich golden tobacco beautifully  scented flowers
