To Early Now

should be d..e..c..

already where

an ember-ring

this side a tong,

a turned log

& an iron sound

as beckon can,

but such adjust

the shift of ash

o’erspread as

solstice wide

as snow-lands

that day, now,

cut nothing

that may grow,

when fallen are,

& who & who, as

one may know

as threnody,

comes a bee

  1. I like this. I used threnody once many many years ago. In fact it was the title of the poem now that I recall-wasn’t very good though as I remember. I’ll have to dig it out now. Good poem. KB

      1. We never have the past to remember. It has all become fiction and changes with each telling, the only constant is pain–but scars are tougher skin and can’t be marred anymore. KB
