How poster 1.png

How

i roused the howl   

it growled and it swept over this mound

the wind beaten stones wailed and wept

the ground moaned aloud

how?

the bough and the branch

the willow and ash moved to the sound

all the wood swayed

to the song that we played

now i don’t know how

once you had wings, silvery wings

that kept you unbound

riven from you by heavenly wring,

they fell to the ground. 

how?

gather and cull the feather and quill

unto your hands

lay the weft and the weave into a crown

still i don’t know how

there’s fluttering light

from a sputtering torch

is this world sloping down?

where the sulfur and ash float on past

is this ground underground? 

how?

all of you gods

right here in this room

i tell you out loud

that I stood for myself

when i sang for my wife

now I don’t know how
