Loss and Faith

the bones of this love
have been resurrected

green are they
but only of mold and mildew

leave my bones in the earth she said

seek the mallow marrow
reach for the softly beating passion
that opens closed buds

find me there

This whole series you've just posted is meaningful to me, especially this one. The "find me there" is wonderfully simple! Elizabeth
