Eyes partly closed
I rest my brow
upon buried faith
sunken within milky pallor
as implorations
dust the outer fringes
of an awaking consciousness
weighted with stifled thoughts
failing
on waning wings
of molting plume

Congrats on HM. "I rest my brow upon buried faith", very jealous about this line, it is a perfect poetic image. Like the whole piece. It has a slight feel of an underlying urgency, tough the image is calm. Nicely written. Geo
