The Poetry of M - 7. Incense
For Jim and Deej . . . and Skinnydragon, and now my dear Papa. May they all live inside the colors that have no names.
And now for dear Lacey too. This one's hard. He was far too young. Far too young.
And now for dear Lacey too. This one's hard. He was far too young. Far too young.
Before your Remembering Stone
I softly here kneel
I am detached but not alone
I deeply do feel
Within my quivering hand there is
A scented symbol
A sweet offering before his
starkly etched sigil
One mere stick wrapped in blackest coal
A wand of Incense
When once lit works to seek your soul
beyond death's black fence
My love rises on scented smoke
A holy sweet perfume
That this Incense seeks to invoke
Your life beyond this tomb
RIP
