Wonderfuly atmospherc – all these ones are particularly good. Somewhat different than your style, but honestly all the better for it. Powerful.

This is really a nice haiku Dolores, I like that surprise hidden in this one.

I really like how you took the idea of dancing on someone’s grave – a phrase that’s hugely negative – and made it natural and even joyous.
