The Forty-Ninth Day

[Knot]

.
Hi ing4,
the end was anticlimactic, on the first read, and became less so on subsequent ones.
The 'ambiguity' that duke identified is, to my mind, a plus. Though I would like to
know what N's reaction to the mother's words is, I don't think the poem needs to tell
me. Nothing wrong with being left wanting more.


Best, Knot.
