Ashes
Sweep away the ashes, child
make an altar for the bones
what horrors careless men have wrought
are finally coming home
Soften your heart to the pain, child
find solace in new songs
let fires burn away the past
but never forget its wrongs
Putting all my words here for safekeeping. My name is Tara. Non-binary, anarchist, life-giver, learning how to be a person.
Sweep away the ashes, child

Soften your heart to the pain, child
