of bone-wrought glass

 

 

now



settles to
follow paths
of footprints long
since fallen -

fossil-memory hardened
by its' hollow weight [wait]




that river stone -
it catches corners
tucked beneath
my empty eye

[ looking through the bottom ...
                             of bone-wrought glass ]






voices summon us
with never-spoken words
that tend each others'
spiral-tethered dance [chance]

 

 

it hovers somewhere

 

 

in between

 

two moments set to
touch so far apart


those ancestors of amber light
whose days we breathe

 

 

 

sensations inked beneath our skin

 

where while we live
so too they never died

    The journey through this poem is complex and emotional while also have a strong dream like element that I always appreciate.

    Mary's poem is great...and so is yours. Expertly crafted, abstract, deep and thought-provoking. Well done!
