they gathered to celebrate
no longer tethered to this earthly life
he had worn his crown well
it was tattered and torn
was he in a loft above them -he would have scoffed
It reads as a different meaning to me. Were sounds like if her were there he would be scoffing. Was is more of him scoffing at the idea that there even is a loft above them.
That scoff raises questions! I wonder why he would react in such a way? Is he amused? Disappointed? I like the bit of mystery behind it. Thank you for linking up. Voting is now active so be sure to come back!

When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night.

ReplyDeleteThink you need to use the exact word i.e 'tether' not 'tethered'. Sorry for being a pain!

ReplyDeleteThe crown was tethered and torn. Poor person . nice read.
ReplyDeleteI liked the 'no longer tethered to this earthly life' line, too. It is both liberating, and sad at the same time.
