on the way to next world

tale progressed
interpreted
hidden in layers of paint
scraped to reveal
underlying strata

layers pealed
secrets crept up front
first a female hand
her shale was brittle
to the hard tissue
body to match
came forward
from a sea of men

servants claimed their place
around long tables
driving nail after nail
into her coffin
how the female could be
underneath with
no introductions needed
she had her place
preserved
one of those boxes
closed not to reopen..

until the secret
surfaced
from the earths depths
as though the soil
shouts motherhood
rose petals open
and her station
is completed.

Wow, this was extremely high definition brutal honesty...about the stains of gossip, and how words can murder and sensor someone's life...
or at least, that is what I've taken from this write...

excellent...

Layers and still more
layers of interpretation here...

something I would love to hear discussed
around a table filled with poets who enjoy
such...

well done, Martin.

~ and that is what I always enjoy about your writing. You do exactly that and the unfolding of your tales are like the petals of a lotus blossom opening up.

So good to see you posting again!

It's all so final isn't it...or is it.
I really like this one.
Take care,
