The Collectors


"The Collectors" 

a kiss 
spreads its alms
warmth on cold lips

Love comes to collect 

the eyes tell a story 
the messengers
opened

an untold mystery
passing 
the plate

the collection

the black swan awaits
veiled proverbs watching 
3 fates 

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

“Perhaps the mourners learn to look to the Blue Sky by day, and to the stars by night, and to think that the dead are there, and not in graves.” Charles Dickens.

Ah Monsieur Lindley, lovely to see you are still treading the boards here. Much love to you and your son, Justin. "“What is this power the dead have over the ones they leave behind? It's strange and beautiful and frightening, this deathless LOVE that human beings continue to feel for the ones they've lost.”
