Grief

 

i am torn asunder

 

a carcass

  of beast and bone

 

picked over

   by the buzzards

 i, home to the crows

 

  raven messenger

  carry my love this poem

 

greet him

   with these words

 

two silver coins

  I will pay

to Charon

 

and lay this stone

  just the other side of Styx

 

his burden to bear no more
