Coronach Poem by Leslie Philibert

Coronach

Rating: 5.0


Gather the crowberries for this windfeast.

Adorning our cheeks with ochre
we pile together a throne of old rowan.

The staggards behind us;
with warm breath at out napes.
We are as careful as a circle.

So a keening for the wild flightsman,
the hewer of stone, blood-iron hearted,
now dead as a distant star
that points the way of smoke, of fire.

But for the moment the wind resides.

Interesting wording, vague until the final line, then it came together. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
