GENTLY DEPRESSED

Gently depressed
I tow to her bind
As alabaster soils

  2. The subject of depression is ever fascinating. In this poem, I'm not sure who is depressed, the speaker or the woman, but it works both ways. Your use of the word 'soils' is very impacting in the last line.

    Thank you for sharing on RT.

  4. We never expect that... alabaster soiling. Yet it does. And when it does, adds weight to the melancholy.
