Soon will be our turn
Grieving mothers in darkness
Suns die everyday

The red hawk appears
whenever I grasp meaning,
together minds soar.

Twice I watched her leave,
always the strange wisps vanished;
nothing to hold on.

She’s lightest when wet
Buoyant, snow-blown and windswept
Streams through steady breeze

From the heads of pins
Angel tears fall thimbles’ full
Mourning peace and love

Night lightning strikes twice
Twin souls birthed fragrant with dawn
Ache to breach the edge

Brutal honesty
Truth lies outside even that
Spring could do better

Dreams ride safe inside
Prism-etched bubbles afloat
Listen for the pop

I pray she is safe
Hearts on metal flying birds
Long lone caws in woods
