Tribute

Belated
                  confession
                  won't heal your wounds
                  I know

                  My chunk of heartbeats
                  won't smooth the string
                  of harp in heaven
                  I know

                  Yet
                   at the feet of your soul
                  trampled flowers, bleeding
                  worm eaten olive leaf, wavering

                  A crow opens  burning beak
                  and gulps the full moon

Just two readers? Well, I make a humble third. A pity everyone else don't know what they are missing. Love, daver
