Dead

“Listen. The minstrels sing
In the departed villages. The nightingale,
Dust in the buried wood, flies on the grains of her wings
And spells on the winds of the dead his winter’s tale.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

A lot or a little. The dead wear capably their wry
Enameled emblems. They smell.”
