Clothed in roots and fire
what rounds a hard day
as if the slow knife
pops suddenly
an innocent skin
as if the slow knife
pops suddenly
an innocent skin
a hushed wincing
shame of what falls
shadow & burning truths
shame of what falls
shadow & burning truths
a genuine turn
of grief
cut in a boat
untethered
of grief
cut in a boat
untethered
does it matter
to the far shore
the press of a foot
to the far shore
the press of a foot
Clothed in roots and fire
Clothed in roots and fire
Clothed in roots and fire
when the dead are buried
& their ghosts sleep
in stars
the light still bends at the stone
& sorrow grinds
& sorrow grinds
the price of blooms
how she
carries the question we cannot bear
how she
carries the question we cannot bear
Clothed in roots and fire
Clothed in roots and fire
Clothed in roots and fire
fire
