FINIS by MARJORIE MUIR WORTHINGTON

First Line: GODS UPON YOUR MOUNTAIN-TOPS
Last Line: DO YOU LAUGH NOW TO SEE IT DEAD?
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

Gods upon your mountain-tops—
I hurl you back
This beating, writhing, pain-filled
Clod of flesh and blood.
Did you put it in my keeping as a jest?
Do you laugh now to see it dead?
