Steven, I so like the first 8 lines, from 'she stands ... just a stone. I think they say it all. The 'frank headstone' is superb. I find the remaining lines sink into a kind of muddiness of past, present and future that is, IMO, just detracting from the power of the first part, and confusing.
A very touching poem with graphic description.

Thanks to you both for your comments! :-)
Cynthia; I removed the lines after 'just a stone' because I wasn't sure if the rest of it worked myself and I do agree with you that those first 8 lines are the best and, I think, really all I need to say in response to the other poem!
