Burnt

Burnt wood, carved deep 
Adrift in seas, the essence of sleep

blades bleed, cuts seep
create mysteries

the glass is in a fractured age 
is vast finalize run

Around a forgotten sun
Of burnt wood n ash

I am lost in objects of art or form. 
Like stone built to last 

Burnt wood 
broken glass 

All are cast 
All is encompassing 

Burnt at last
Some things persist in memory 

of memories 
in a forgotten history
