Scattered breath
12 February 2016

Does it speak
Of broken morrows
The stilled mind
Chilling Heart
Polar experiences
Lurking in the dark
I gather
Twigs and worn pages
All fire warmth
Chimneys smoke
Fading thoughts that I invoke
A life pressed in blue
I blow hard
Rekindling ashes
Under the grey
Red simmers
Volcanic eruptions bleed
What once could have been
There is dust
On my fingertips
Raging winds
That mouth quips
Lift but the blinding spent sands
Leaving million more
I shake snow
In glass of seconds
White my slate
Empty store
There is nothing in slain grains
No yeast to raise bread
Dancing queen
Shimmers with the shake
As I rake
Garden leaves
With lost stories my chest heaves
Untold for undead
Scattered breath
Gathers me within
Chest heaving
Soul cleaving
Remnants of threads strewn across
Rosary and cross
