imaginarygarden A Splash of Rust & Gold ~ Micro Poetry Imagined By Kerry O’Connor
Yesterday, it was raining embers,
gold and red dropping like tongues
of fire, liars each, just leaves from
weeping trees lying in smoldering
heaps of spent energy. Drying, dying,
today’s dismal elegy to death.
*it was raining embers from –Boey Kim Cheng, “Clear Brightness”
This is fantastic, Debi. Such impact in your choice of words.
