oh sweetest song 

                 after Rilke

Rilke draws 

in chiaroscuro

blossoms 
thirst
between dormant 
stones

in
rivers of
ash

birdcalls
that leach your mind
unbury 
the psalms 
from sleep 

what you love

now
speak to the 
signing blood 

i am
i flow

maybe to your God
or whatever means to the loops of light 
that makes 
the fruits still glimmer
in dusk 

and 
the skulls rot
