remains
scraped
into pews
where
you laughed,
defying
death with
only a breath,
a longing
(for that which lay
beyond
y llan a môr,
the sky’s wan harbour)
Author notes
a wish, sort of, conceived in a seaside church (llan - church, môr - sea). she always wanted to escape – those thoughts often kept her alive - but then she died (oh, but she was alive!), and thus the longing, methinks, ‘twas bootless… unless death is an escape, which i can’t imagine an eternity of not existing would be.

I really like this, It's very interesting and you said a lot with just 30 words.
Thanks and good luck.
