Readers' poem

Monument by Damian Walford Davies

Mary Anne Boulton, †1829
St Michael’s, Great Tew



You ride the tomb side-
saddle in alabaster cool,

hair dressed à la grecque.
Those irisless eyes

don’t see the hint of nipples
he insisted on. The book

forever in mid-fall is some
dead commentary on

Corinthians, or a sermon
you must be seen

to scan. What would you bury
yourself in? – the latest gothic

shocker, all vaults and breath-
less girls? You’re living

that plot now, paid for
by your husband’s pumps

and jennies, his hot Brum
hammers and tongs.
