linen napkin
between
death’s eyes
and
mortal friends
drawn aside
in glory

Thank you, Tammy!

This is phenomenal. It seems almost understated, though the subject is stark, until that very last couplet-- and then it really hits you. Masterfully done, Diane.
You are really great on these simple rendition poems. I think I told you before, this style and manner are very Dickenson-like.
Just loved it!

What a creative and powerful interpretation of the prompt! In so few words to construct a napkin as a curtain between life and death, mortality and eternity... Wonderful!

I am drawn to the post resurrection acounts of Jesus in the gospel acounts. If so, I am quite amazed at this.
