Untitled

If my father calls I go
Among strange letters of a foe

I tread the ladder of his breath
Ascend my son he says to rest

I cannot hold the bird in place
And see no throne or face

A voice across the valley goes
It startles flocks of crows

A pack of ruffled black arises
Scatters over sun’s disguises

Where my father hides his blue
Mane of fire in the true

Remains of silent corps pass by
Burned banners tattered on the sky

Buried in the soldiers’ brains
Stores of gracious April rains

That water cinders dirt and soot
And sweeten the discarded root

Coiled up in flesh
Wed to nothingness
