Where once her garden used to spill.

NO ONE TAKES ANYTHING AWAY

nothing striking—except the strange restraint of the living.

Two who join together to play Pin the Tail on their prey

The torrential rain finally comes to a halt
In the stillness of it all floats the body of the banker’s son

He sits ceaseless, and unyielding.

Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
