I’ve no grave to visit,
wreaths to weave
or epitaph to write.
Instead of a tombstone,
the headboard
of another woman’s bed.

Yes, I love poems that take complex (even paradoxical) things and express them beautifully in very few words without needless extrapolation. Short poems are harder to write well and this one jumped off the page.
