Description / poems by Rory Winston:

"Seikilos Recycled
An Epitaph for Elegies in CAC Minor

1. Rest in Pieces.

Rest in Pieces, just
Like the rest whose rest
-less peace comes from being

here. The thin pale skin
of earth is bruised by some-
Body. Stained with names, dates, tears -
pieces arranged into themes.
Fear reshapes what we hear.

2. Here: Lies

“Here lies….,” and hear more lies.
That bright white light
At the end of that terminal tunnel.

A send off
To end on
A Hollywood ending
To dampen a scream.

The echo of a white lie
Dancing on a black screen.

3. In Us

“In our hearts, in our thoughts, in our…”
What if our interior isn’t to his liking?
Can he move out? Redecorate?
Will he rearrange our dreams to make himself at home? Restyle our needs?
Will he Squat here and bring friends? What about those inhabiting him? Can they
be trusted alone?
Will he populate our heads with endless generations – a Matryoshka doll of reveries, elegies and laments?

And who’ll be our shelter? - We, who are unaware of the multitudes we host?
Will we make our beds behind walls of ghosts whose ghosts have ghosts?
“In our hearts, in our thoughts, in our prayers…?”
Let’s pray, we stay where they put us, in the ground
– here, safely, six feet under instead of thousands of years from the nearest
town.

4. In Memory of the living

It was her second fall
That had us land by her side.
Our shallow breath
Caught between her teeth.
Her hollow breath
Teaching us to breathe

Digits swallowing her beat by beat
Meters lighting up as she grew faint.
Well-trained memories waltzing to sighs.
Barbed wire lashes combing milky eyes
She dabbed the gauze-like walls
with our blank smiles.

Scanning us like fogged-up thermostats
she raised her hand and pushed her hair to one side.
And that’s when she sat up, silly with will,
And died. Leaving her image –
Crisp, clear, remains like stone.
Forever unchanged, she stayed. For us

Wasn’t so. We drifted further alone.
Haven’t seen since, though we’d once been close.
Sure, sometimes, one of us may phone
But who that familiar voice belongs to now
Remains unknown.

5. Delayed Departure

What crossed her mind
Was the occasional doubt
And a bullet. A pressing thought
Sent soaring. Censoring
Embedded sores. She was
“as free as a bird”
Without the burden of wings.

6. The Eulogy, the Genre

You left me
You left me snow
You left me snow in my footprints in the snow "
