A morning view at Camp Quietude
Darkness owned
The months
Time froze
Entangled
With the heartbreak
Of a winter coffin
As I slumped
Into your recliner
Smoking your last
Cigarettes
Hearing your bones
Cry gratitude
For the morphine
I pumped
And remorse
For the lost years
Scenes from this year's seasonal home somewhere between the Blue Ridge & the Great Smokies.
“Her deep and damp smile could feed the gardens on the edge of this town.”
— 15-word myth #85: Melissa / @azurestone9
Golden leaf
Chill slain
Wings murmur
Sent to stone
Shorn
Last sigh
In an arbour
Of bone

Surrendering to soulful disarray
along the twisted pathway to tranquility.
