Ashes
March 26, 2013
Ashes
Closing my eyes,
my hands softly caress
Cold velvet rocker
cushions scarred, aged, distressed
Dust dances, leaps
devouring my lungs
In my hands, a book
pages, words, foreign tongues
Delicacy
of a monarch's torn wings
they turn and crumble
like aged tombstones of kings
Fall through my fingers, soft ashes
ashes, ashes, of long forgotten dreams.
