The coffin lay in your room
Three days before you died
A woven reproach to what you had become
I would have slept in it
Had it not been in your room
Tucked myself up against the lining
Breathed in the newness of it all
We moved you in your winding sheet
As if we had been doing it all our lives
And had we not?
