Larry D. Thomas

Seven Deadly Sins

4. Sorrow

Cello of the soul.

Cry in the caved-in

shaft of a mine

creasing the flesh about the eye

with the unmistakable

feet of crows.

Black-dressed hostess

of a dinner party

where no one shows

but Fate, the uninvited guest.

Purgative of tear duct.

Composer of the arduous

score of character.
