Tired Souls
Crawling through the dust, memories
and blood, the search continues
for days and years.
Darkness slips around, growling
with thunder, threatening
the search for tonight.
Frustration mounts as droplets
fall, tears for those whose
souls are already flying.
Ivory, enamel, slate and glass
piece by piece, collected,
formed, prodded, studied
Searching the corners, gathering the
dust, pushing aside photos,
books and stories from years gone by.
Floating above, sitting in the
way - souls, tired and
recently dispatched.
Not knowing where to go or
what to do, they watch
their own investigation
Crawling through dust, memories
and blood, the search continues
for days and years.
