Finiali"I have your final smile by rote;", Jan Owen , single work poetry
The title and first line appear to play with the concept of the finial as decorative terminal ending on gables or flagstaffs, or the serif-ornamented typographic ending stroke, and 'final' as in 'final smile.' The body of the poem then suggests an orthodox meditation on lost love, but the closing stanza asserts that 'blind worms are flight as yet undressed' - and implies that love, hope, or the poet, will rise again.
