"Allegra"...is this a Christmas poem or not?
.
each choice, known, unknown, of
heart can render. rending forever, keeping
worn, sworn earth, dust.
not erect stones me, keep me
company. did not have companionship in
life, why plague stones @ sunset?
cover me thorns, in life, 1 reed,
1 drum. clutch music of death,
no salvation, yet reincarnation.
in peace. let me.
remember me.
remember.
leave bed of winter's night
light dark's ice wax candle?
not you, priest...
bound law body, not soul's grief
or expansion.
bound limit soul in 1 direction.
denial of reed , drum leads voices,
in canto, ceilings.
captured. tonal.
never twice on key.
each choice...thorn, dulled thorn.
thorn nonetheless.
vine. rose.
redemption after salvation?
can salvation redeemed?
must it, should it, who's hand...
long vine, short rose.
together...vining rose of headstones
rendering hollowness in winter's
dark ice.
remember...
candle.
.
. each choice, known, unknown, of heart can render. rending forever, keeping worn, sworn earth, dust. not erect stones me, keep me company. did not have companionship in life, why plague stones @ sunset? cover me thorns, in life, 1 reed, 1 drum....
