A Dirge Adrift


beautiful fractals float
atop the rotting wood—
wind-stains adrift

slanted dreams
a felony of

groves barren and forgotten
are those moments past a reapers swing

gorgeous surrender
tempt me naught

for the greyest cloaks of strangeness
guide the shadows now

to where the weathered stones denote location
to where fragments bathe in muddied earth

it’s message, is one of certainty
providing clarity through dates and name,
leaving but the questions mankind’s wrestled all his days
