Ashton Cynthia Clarke

***


Dust glides on a breeze

Grief, let loose this volant soul

Tether not, with flame set free.


***


Carefully pressed petals of daring dreams folding secret longings fell dehydrated at his feet when he broke open her once hidden swollen diary he hated himself not able to stop himself as he read every flaming word each line never meant for his thirsty eyes.

Planting for the Harvest


She lives

a life 

well tilled

her time

like spring boughs 

laden heavy with faith 

and family 

harmony and heart


and memories . . . 

loves 

redolent of summer mamey 

take root beside 

acid limón of loss

they graft and grow 

new fruit inseparable


un-till rich earth falls

fragrant brown black 

reclaiming her bones 

fertile with being

receiving her home

to lay fallow for only a time.
