Awakened!
A breath of ash leaves-it leaves my lungs
Pulling-it pulls me back with each season
Fainter still... fainter still
I gather my legs, weary still. This journey, gray. A gentle snow
Fills my footprints till they are no more
And near, a voice-a voice, a song sung so true
Every respite of each day
To the knit stitched at each palm
Of awe and fevers, of awe and fevers
The scent of strawberries with skin the color of sand
A figure with hair so lustrous
Each lock holds the promise anew
Mine, black and tangled
From a sleep unending. And yet, a flash of light
Through the crack
Of my eyelids, whispers its secret down to me
A fractured memory held on the teeth of a porcelain comb
