Funereal Burn

sieve ablaze
a reflection in an elegy

communion in the charnel house
flexing and writhing
funereal burn
submerged and desolate
floating like torn lace
to dissolution

virgo marrow
lucid coil

inhumed in heart
immersive enigma
soaked in blood
and mystified, mystified
nested under moon fall, moon fall
wrens signal
glowing, glowing
an essence without
purpose, muted

virgo marrow
lucid coil

there as you were
caked in dust
a bleeding antique
aging and numb
a fraction of oak
rotted through
a low running root
burst askew
a grand coat of arms
wrapped in waves
of rust and decay
shining through

sunless zealot
