l'embrouillement vert

even in death, she is close...
married to his brother, but after his own heart...
painter to painter, talent on talent...
M pour M...
she brushes aside, then lightly upon...
her green eyes darkened in repose,
her white dress splayed,
a wilting camellia on a velvet web... 

[a summer's day at the intimate Cimetière de Passy]

Thank you, Maria!
