Voices of the dead echo on processed jungle bark.
Grateful that I’m here to feel a candle in the dark;
Truth it simmers bubbles burns & warms my skin replete,
Goosebumps raised like scythes that cut the lifeblood from the wheat.
Womb to Urn.
Through
Which I Learn
To Breathe & Be
Roll around the grass and find yourself again,
There in the past, walking with Maman to the library down the street,
Your finger tracing along the mortar joints of the shopping center you’d pass along the way.
Bench where we sat. Eating silence, our shared dinner.
Night, and our table had been clothed by the Moon,
Mirroring the glow of that great gas ball in the sky.
