Everywhere she dies. Everywhere I go she dies.
No sunrise, no city square, no lurking beautiful mountain
but has her death in it.
The silence of her dying sounds through
The poem begins abruptly, three words with multiple meanings. She ‘dies’ is in the present tense, implying that the loss is fresh in the poet’s mind. Also it is ongoing, not something that has happened and will fade; the word ‘everywhere’ suggests that he can’t escape the grief. He then goes on to repeat this, adding ‘I go’ to link with ‘she’, to emphasise their important closeness to each other.
