The Unkindest Cut

They lay entombed, the stone cut’s humor rife: A Doe, his dear, between them lies his knife.

All just silly, James’ poem lamented John Doe’s wife didn’t even get a name, mine suggested Doe was having an affair with the stonecutters wife and he killed them, didn’t dignify her with a name, and kept em apart in eternity with the blade.
