These bones are but the silt that collects in crevices of stone And flesh is long decomposed to feed the worms Yet we danced as demi-gods among the pantheons Letting hearts and souls be joined to cautionary tales Of heroic deed or the fail that came When wax might melt against the sun Or too often the cry of wolf ran round Filial they are now told But lust and flesh had hold and now lies reflected In still pool below the rush of falls Where iris and cat tail mix against the edge as home For red wing song in entreat “where’s the mate my love” “what tales they told when we were young” It’s sung to sun, then whispered upon the calm To lie still upon the skin of water for those who hear The clavicle bore weight of verbs as parted from the sinew of words It is bleached an antiseptic white upon the page Then folded as one would for child into a craft That bobs upon ripples formed in times when sighs Or the touch of skin was fire to be stolen from the gods As jealous eyes made storms to rage upon the sea Or batter top of hill with trilled streaks of lightening Followed by a rumbled growl Green for all its envy of owning more Smooth this eroded silt of song lays deep within the rocks Strewn now from torrents and the age of scribe For the few and lucky ones to sieve through in search of some golden hue That might dust the wings of hope’s angel or dress the shoulders bared In some intimate command of love Shared in Fairy Tale With twist of fated ending known Such Myth is born among the raucous words that were Then carried in the womb of her who fed the fertile floor And birthed as tome To breathe within spare spaces left When we were gone And our destiny Formed |

I really like this poem. It has depth and beautiful imagery. It makes me think of some huge, heroic history painting, maybe by David. Well done. |

Ron..."To lie still upon the skin of water" An image to be remembered, among the many. |
