MORE MONOSTICHS

 

 

A scion of a worthy stock yet buried in a precinct grave.

 

Where smokeless chimneys reached the sky they sat in silence wrapped in shawls.

 

As a bird is defined by the plumage so a tart is defined by the crust.

 

With broken lock and rusty hinges the door was forced by calloused hands.

 

Though you don’t know me I once dreamed that I met you in another life.
