Bones 23

a blacksmith

tender shoots

hammers out
the hard edges

of long buried
psalms

of kindness

en-chant me

a pyre crafted

myth-making erupts

of old poems
en-kindling

from the rag
and bone shop

a storm shelter

of the hardened
heart

​mirroring

a blow
by blow

it's self
a leaf

analysis

in freefall

of the west wind

on the death of Judy's Godmother, aunt, and namesake
