Ashes Poem by Robert Macdonald

Ashes



You ask for help
You think it’s real
But in the end
You’ve just made another deal

You shave the beards
Of your hapless kings
You free the birds
Then clip off their wings

Oh do the phantoms
In your head
Do they stir?

Oh and the radio songs
That you know

Oh and the first time
You zoned in on a face

Oh when the ashes hit the snow
