10. This is poignant, Bjorn. It makes me feel an ethereal sadness.

    • Sadness perhaps, but reality more.

11. I like the wordplay on the title. The repetition of time and how it shifts by its nature is well-done here. A cycle ends when the wreathe is cast onto the compost heap, to begin again.

    • Indeed… that was my intention… those flower budding on the grave perhaps.
