Margaret's Hands

Margaret's fingers clasped and still
white wings upon her windowsill
silent doves that came to rest
sleeping now upon her chest
each settled bird that came to land
will fly no more from Margaret’s hands

Thank you-Margaret was a child killed in the blitz, her tombstone was profoundly moving
