I see it as being to write as if already buried, very haunting, the desk being the tomb, a buried act and process.

Here Norman you have painted a vivid picture of peace, sylvan that for some may evoke a sense of the heavenly and others a more primal spiritual worship. Nicely conceived and written a fave

Norman I love the structure of this poem allowing the title and main meaning to be expressed over and over to emphasize its meaning. In the same manner rhyme is sparingly used to emphasize certain elements. Clever an nicely done a fave

A LONELY STAIR
Thomas W Case said:
Thereβs a damn quiet loneliness here, with the candle flame, empty house, distant memories, and lonely stair creating the feeling of someone sitting alone with everything theyβve tried not to remember. The final image is the keeper for me, because forgiveness becomes a tentative footstep upward, something fragile you approach slowly rather than something you simply decide to possess.
