the alliteration matches the sound of the hooves as they beat a song to the cemetery.
This reminds me of Dickinson...
"Because I could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me, the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality...."
nicely done.

I love that you think the alliteration matches the sound of hooves and a mention on the same page of Dickinson, is more than a compliment. Thank you Jacob. Really appreciate your continued support of my written efforts.

Such a dark theme, presented well.

Thank you Ana, yes a dark theme for dark times. The funeral parlours have sadly been very busy in these parts recently.

Yes. Quite sad. My cousin is in hospital. Tested positive. I'm trying to stay positive and not think on it too much until we know more. Worst part is you can't visit loved ones anymore l.

[Chris Shaw]

Yes, it is really tough not being able to visit. My mum is in a nursing home two hundred miles away. I haven't seen her for three months. I hope your cousin makes a speedy recovery.

The last ride. The final journey. I believe more for the family and their friends. To find a place to say goodbye. Powerful use of words dear Chris.

Yes it would have been for family and friends. They wanted to give their loved one the best possible send off in their eyes. The horse drawn carriage certainly looked magnificent. Many thanks Coyote.
