Good poem Green. Got five and a recommend. You lost me a little in the last stanza, but hey, it's probably me.

so cleanly written

reading you always leaves me feeling a novice.

so damned visual, gm, even the table-cloth over the table serving dual-time imagery as a shroud over a liver-spotted corpse...

blackened salmon and claret add to the senses-trip you create, with colours/textures/flavours

a tour-de-force of the senses when you include the sounds of the rosary beads being counted and the keening of the women...
