Thank you for the kind words. Yes the shoulders are those of the widow as Taps plays. Those 24 notes are like a punch in the gut when you hear them at a funeral.

I like the way the flag is a major part of the poem, more so than the (presumed) widow. At least, I'm supposing that the shoulders belong to a human, and not a personification of the flag. I think your way of dealing with this subject is very effective.Hello Mercedes,
