dry bone dessicated
raku crackled glaze
the old wrinkle lines of a mothers face
they drain the salty marsh of ruined days
with bags of phone calling card moans
they send their dreary eyes beyond yours
deep into the desert of complete cleansing
straight past the waste filled sand dunes
groomed with the rake facing folly in
june
it was soon a lake filled with clear winter cold
it came from somewhere beyond the last season
like a wind picked it up from important reasons
laid it down in the barren shapes of this land
bringing back the life that could not stand
with the one leg perch of an egret in the fog
the dew was a blue heron sending songs along
where hearts hear the words forward in the maze
a dry bone
desicates racku crackled glaze
