(Based on the Vietnamese luc bat poetic form.) The gravestone says it all – Dulcie, loved wife of Paul. She is safe in arms of Jesus; loved until hell freezes over; mourned and missed forever. Another could never replace her face, her smile, her grace. And Paul would take the space next her when he goes. But I fear, it being one hundred years ago, we’ll clearly never know if Paul moved on to hoe a new and different field. For see, lichen covers Dulcie’s name; dank her space. Paul’s stays blank. |
