Forgotten Ground Regained

Spark

Glow, gentle canticle,in the endless ether—ring radiant acrossthe radius of curse—flow faster than lashes,ride with rigid grasp.
The hollows gapeand holler as you flashin the shallows, a holysheen holding steady—they didn’t know about youand the new brine we breathe.
