One for sorrow lonely berthing tree gone fallow yearning for… all asunder wooden quarry all of flame-fraught fire-wrought moor. Thirsty crow, smoky-wing riddle you this, riddle and sing an empty vase and a fire-dry nest where to drink, where to rest? Crafty crows in an endwise roost drop their stones on the weeping spruce weeping spruce, ash and green longs for stones to raze its grief The charlatan wind holds its breath an idling sky whispers death the smog and the smoke the crows will all choke the fledglings croak of a charlatan wind and an idling sky that whispers death of smog and of smoke of crows that all choke the fledglings croak. One for sorrow… Thirsty crow, smoky-wing riddle you this, riddle and sing a windless sky and a char-gagged home where to fly, where to roam? Weary crows on a city-wise path weld their nests with shit and slag weeping lines, electric green grease the air with fictile dreams The charlatan wind holds its breath an idling sky whispers death the smog and the smoke the crows will all choke the fledglings croak. the charlatan wind holds its breath an idling sky whispers death of smog and of smoke the crows will all choke the fledglings croak. The crows stopper breath to cheat death a riddling sky whispers myth the spark and the liar the birds made of wire the crows withhold death to cheat a riddling sky whispers myth the engineered earth the phoenix in birth the charlatan crow holds its breath and idling time withdraws death Carbon eggs and ice avian machine wings of glass and sheen beak-made trickster gleans
 One for sorrow two for mirth three for the harrowing four for birth five for silver six for gold seven for secrets that must be told eight for endings nine for hel ten for murder ten the bells ten times knelling ten the spell ten too many ten to quell.

Kindling from the valley flame falling like snow bewitched Dog Days rust and bonefire grit the setting sun bleeds through the sky. Hunger preying like Bluebeard smoking, choking the chamber awaits. Pay heed to the need of moths: know their flight: fire and flee. Salt and wood and ash and tree Salt for sea and wood for burning ash for fire and hex for tree Shifting scales salt and ash heaping high in my palms. I speak the language of fog the skies speak in smoke. Westward the pull of my bones my marrow-map home. Night calls the bleeding sun down the fire stays bright. Embers, like river stones burn the lake high again. Skies are red.

Seaward 05:23
Transience, my dreams have all been ravenous wandering, forlorn for the sound of the shore. Riparian child with rustfall from her eyes dreamweave face lost to the bloom of salt. I am always returning the tides are always pulling I am always listening the gulls are always calling Reverie shoulders a red wound drawn to the fire severing her self she walks into the sea. The wolf-womb is in-between. Hungering. Hungering.

The Sentinel 06:56
Once, he was bloodless too young to sit still no blood to bind him no oath to shape his will Once, he was restless limping from the sand seeking a new shore a new place to stand. Once, he was homeless no bones stacked by the hearth no ghosts on the heath just the road beneath his feet. He was fire, he was dirt he was nameless, no keeper he was all of nothing, so he kept on walking. The mountain named him, the storm claimed him anchor, landfall, our watcher. Heavy his blood with the taste of sky with the smell of pine with the weight of snow and time. Restful his watch sleepless he stands far from the shore the never-waning brand. Once, he was homeless... The sentinel stands with his feet in the tides riding against the moon’s embrace Like a red-jawed Thor braced ‘gainst the earth the storm-snake wrapped ‘round his girth. Now, the storm tide cloud spills down the mountainside the sentinel stands still for the earth to pull him near. Once he was roving and lost. Nameless, wandered, a bloodless vagabond.
