blackened, wizened, deep-based thing
the late light scratches scarlet grooves
in to the trunk
and there are ancient reservoirs
of fingernails
and secret human stories
and the wind
is a blind carpenter
and the turning earth
an eraser
and the sky the skin of an eye
blinking away
civilisations
and centuries
like grit
So stunning. Your poems speak directly to the soul of things that the mind has forgotten. Thank you for sharing.
