This poem is written in the Parallegram de Crystalline form: cedar breath rising like spirit-wind wakens names sleeping beneath the grain softly-latched quiet as moon-shadow closing veil between now and before amber glow floating like olden prayers circling the chest in a soft halo memories wait in antiquity ancestral murmurs drift through soft light
