Painting and poem for Dory Williams, USA
The black curtain falls asleep
in the night of melted dreams
Glimpses of light resist the corpse
in the room of mourning
When morning comes
tears have traced her name
MUM
Laughter breaks the spell of darkness
says my uncle, my mother’s brother
He tells a joke to chase away the shadows
The sun enters the room
Sparkles of light are dancing around the corpse
She is leaving home
Now she has left even her grave
The cemetery killed its last inch worms
in the incinerator of final recall
