for Samantha, from Samhain to Imbolc
Autumn
The north
is incensed
with wet death
as the rainbow
runs black.
*
After death
love and ink
carve life
like the caves
of the Lesse River.
**
Survivors
release limp flesh
to cherish
or banish
memory.
***
Wholeness
lacks titles,
buries hate,
and harvests hope
from grief.
Winter
Brigit burns
the north
as birth
awaits
equinox.
