To the grief of self
an odyssey of a mettled body
A stare of the nights Stead fragments suffering
The body of a young boy I who was younger
Brew pang like a stream of fragrant mirth
Mother will say Wade through
sift until there are remnants
and this stub is a gift of remembrance
When your soul is lost to the wind.
