Settling
Ashes of
All I know
All I am
Not to rise
The phoenix slumbers
Dreaming of
Frozen tundra
The birth of
A new star
Destined only
To fall without
Semblance
Streams with vortices
Shallow
Still
Pathways to
Chambers
Emptied their contents
Built to hold
What was not
Built to be
Contained
To rise:
To decline
To decline:
To realign
Shouting matches
With whispering willows woke
Only by
Waning will
Crescent satellite
Still at last
Buried once more
Catalyst only
Lost in
Translation of
Time
Trees with branches bowing to
Future laden with
The unparsed past
Objects, and the Distance Between Them
