A poignant sequence exploring themes of love, loss, and renewal. Written during a period of personal upheaval, the poems chronicle the end of Montague’s first marriage and the beginning of a new relationship.

The “cloak” serves as a metaphor for protection, transition, and the emotional layers that envelop human connections. Montague’s lyrical and introspective style captures the complexities of intimacy and the passage of time, making the sequence a deeply personal yet universally resonant work.
