Return
This is not
A return;
It is re-membering.
The river beneath the river,
Silent until the flood.
Cleansing what had been before;
As clouds unveil
The blood -
Red moon above the waters.
The penance and the promise,
The challenge and the choice:
The wild, free cry of crows -
What rises here,
What light shines now,
Shall be, must be,
The truth.
