THE CALMING STRIKE

These words are stilled
The rapturous homestead
I am intended
A stand eased yet fleeting
-
Removed of recognition
Who are we outside we?
Retreatists and widows
Anchored hopes
Tilling regretted earth
A crimson line
An unfavorable season
Are we empty or unfilled?
Taken yet not bled
-
A stand fleeting not eased
Am I intended?
The rapturous homestead
These words are stilled
