I’ve been digging for a few weeks, trying to excavate some of my old works that have become buried over the (far too many) years.
Sadly, much of my old work seems to be lost to antiquity now. But i have found a couple of the poems i was looking for. The one i’m running today is one that i had plans to do a set of full page illustrations – one for each verse. Now that i’ve uncovered the poem, perhaps that will happen. But, for now, i’m going to run it here so i can find it more easily next time.

And here’s a previously unrevealed tidbit about this poem – it was written from the point of view of a corpse in a funeral pyre.
