Memory twigs fall

On ledge of my mind

Where I do not wish

To wallow lest

I  wake ancestors

Cause their crystal cup

Thus far, unbroken

To suddenly shatter…

I cannot abide stench–

Blood of divine cells

Drip of their august

Creation–spilling down

My face, coursing over

My body, covering my

Feet…and rising back

Up, so deep, too deep

Until I drown in cursed

Mystery unsolved…

Of what I came from

Who I should have been

No Place Else (NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo)

~~*~*~~

Perhaps constellations are wet shards of limbs

Where heart’s root remains ‘mid dreary slithers…

Do you remember, far ago?  for hours, we’d

Spell words together, like a lovers’ game, using

Broken handle of spoon for a pen—and shake

The letter nibbles which fell from the platform…

Yes, the platform, the life we lived then

Because there was no place else for us to go.

Heaven curves…a

Loving arc toward Earth…

Between sky and waters souls

Breathe sacred prayers…

They pray that holy seeds of

Redemption would press down

Deep where they’re planted by

Kind winds…deep beneath

Fertile ground fed by blood

Of fallen warriors and saints

Deep where turtle bones

Rest silently, forever calm

Oh, Lord God…You reign

Let all Your creation heal
