The Strange and New

Sanctity arises
In this flesh of the doomed
Whenever burrows are kicked-in...

       I hear you calling from the top of a grassy hill
       Your skirt waving in the sunlight
       I remember receiving your radiation.
       And it left my burrows a broad palace,
       Strange and new.
