Tag: monostich
the strain of cold limbs as the earth keeps shape even in mindless destruction
light pooling low. ground softening. branches holding still. a brief crossing.
ignore me: just another passing presence whose form is the word and mist
step outside in the dark before dawn into a world stilled by a mad gods’s silence
unbiased a column of light and yet we self censor our morals and refuse salvation
hour of the wolf waking: a soul deep override of suppressed senses
in the temporary absence of light the quiet expands from subconscious into reality
something just beyond our sight: leaves settle on earth with divine grace
lovingly cradled inside the tree shadow bodies forget the passing of age
