SLOWLY THE FAINTED DUST SETTLED

Burning blossoms frail in existence
drift waving to distance
ancient in darkness
strange sounds in a gather of nothing
crude the ground rough shaven
capture the blossoms
each fist turns as religious chants
echo the choir's screams
urged in death the disgusted breeze calms
dismissed by springs sharp birth
this mirrored in deaths alien lands
civil poverty grasps the finger born in the bone
so many blossoms
slowly fail in a morning sky
the clay sticks to silver spade
and earth open realm
wet in a cloak and virgin rain
sliced beaten grass
flickers in candles fame
as I laid as an image
undiscovered in ghostly mind
explained skies
drip in slow uncertainty
maternal grief blasts the marble stories
gentle cliffs raise a suns fear
violent injuries
eager in terror clouds cover
How foolish normality
cruel in written speech
black in the magic
mind projected in sober reflection
the blossoms lay still
movement not corrected
stillness without ripple
slowly the fainted dust settles
yes
slowly the fainted dust settled
