    THE WIDOW'S PILLOW

    Who untie bitter beads like a fall?
    Who carries procession that beats a pall?
    Who wakes at the prime crows?
    And lies late, heavy with sorrows

    . . .

    Studying the room as if it were a trade
    Gravely peering the emptiness, shadowed like Hade
    Mosquitoes winging the space, stepping by
    To croon to the prey of insomnia
    She reached out to feel a sable form
    But alas!
    Can I ever find someone from his class?
    Nostalgic gaze into the pitch distance
    As memories evoke without mediums
    Alive in frames, frozen in times, devoid of stance.

    Cranium crashed with painful reminisce in multitude
    Hope bellied by the predators of solitude
    None except an old and tattered pillow
    To drought the fall of ever-trickling tears
    Of a widow.
