Dancing Dust on Rising Grave
By Jeffrey Smyers
Ten thousand stories, one thousand dead
stones, and one wanderer pulsing
breaches into the forgotten realm
a disconnected lullaby lost on posterity
echoing across time in mocking bird’s lament.
Dispossessed, wild wanderer:
Wake.
Tremble.
Gasp.
stones, and one wanderer pulsing
breaches into the forgotten realm
a disconnected lullaby lost on posterity
echoing across time in mocking bird’s lament.
Dispossessed, wild wanderer:
Wake.
Tremble.
Gasp.
