to vanish and be remembered as a feather in someone else’s sky

river rising the pilgrim promises to wait for his turn

the ghost in the hallway wears a new face today i raise my bow and let loose a wailing arrow

the pilgrim fades into the horizon flesh melds with elemental wilderness

the poem despises the beast who writes it with bloodied hands and a heavy heart

an otherworldly gaze parries the deathblow the force of spirit against fury’s blade

a cup of silver that steams in moonlight and is always filled to the brim with godly ale

as the sun sets brittle birds settle in a glass jar to measure the eternity of night

the child you never named blooms sharp unapologetic and somehow still beautiful

eyes like bruised starlight solemnly speak of ancient ways
