Ken Rone Poet Free verse

Fo'C's'Le Ashes

Ashes collected into the collated casks and 
          Corked with animus, Moon Girl pounded on. 
Drumming a dirge on the tanner's own flesh. 
          Pounding the seed of echoing hope.

Ken Rone August 28, 2021 at 11:12 AM Thank you Sam. This was a pecular contest...3 months to await the outcome. I almost withdrew it because it required only a snipit of rhe whole, out of context. Anyway, I'm pleased and thank you.
