On observing a sadness

With the ache of memory
she suffered his weight
the insufferable boredom
the physical presence
she had not carried it well
neither her heart
nor her back
remained unbowed

On the welsh roadsides
windblown feathers of pheasants
mown down by traffic
Hunters robbed of their victims
Unconscionable pathos
