empty branches remember
how light used to feel

Hollow bones, light flight --
keen minds, territorial --
rancorous murder

Abashed, I stumble --
stutter -- utter fears -- eerie,
then, your warm smile

don't move on -- rancid taste fills
each room they enter

An antique mirror --
baroque-framed, half-silvered -- I
reflect spectrally

we say -- ten thousand years on --

In cold, damp barrow
warm hand grasps graven relic --
jealous old bones stir

Cringey things I said --
like splinters in the soul, deep,
not to be plucked out

A white #veil is drawn,
The cold revenant stands still;
Silence, amplified.

Bones, pottery shards --
these we dig up; songs, dreams, loves
gone like dust, all lost

not creepy but stalwart -- yes,
