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.

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.

You know how waiting for a contest to end is tense. I'm thinking that the strategy is to submit as close to the deadline as possible. - Ken

Deep poem Ken with many symbolism and imagery, the last line has it all: Doing their utmost to expand hope by smashing the germ of echoed hope. Good luck in the contest Ken
