Funeral

She sleeps forever I sleep funeral day she shall be buried in earth I , buried in wine one day flowers I will lay at her graveside Never the less consumption will not redress the naked truth two died that day

While lilies, and red roses, laid together on a grave, flowers as a personification in a way.
