rinse repeat

 

 

 

 

draw from sand

raise

colour and melt

blow

ragamuffin

blow

 

form

and flow

 

drink

deep

then

spin me

round

and

round

and

go

bass

boom

clash 

smash me

crash me

crush me

break me

empty

die

bury

dig

raise

 

 rinse

repeat

 

 

entropy

 

 

 carry me crowned

past autumn's waiting belly

ringed with burnished leaves

and seed-heads

ready to spill

upon the cooling soil

carry me to the river

and lay my head by the water

so the weeds may rise and enfold me

in their green mantle

carry me across

to where my winter queen

lies
