A Merry Widow Poem by Ian Bowen

A Merry Widow

Rating: 2.7


From a pretty lace bed,
in the chamber
of a cosy widow, where old ornaments
dusted to death by the feathers of ostrich,
sit on polished shelves;
where a soldier in khaki, glares at me
from behind glass.

She comes out of the bathroom,
and turns his photo...

to 'about turn' and face
the lily patterned wall.

... & 'She comes out of the bathroom, and turns his photo... to 'about turn' and face the lily patterned wall.' Maybe: She comes out of the bathroom and turns his photo... 'about face' to view a lily patterned wall. A Merry Ian in his lily patterned view.... .
