Claine Keily # 22 Ashes

All I find is honey
so hard from the cold
it does not fit my want

He brought it here
from the edge of a valley
laden with ashes
told me
to drink
as though there were
something wrong with me
drew lines on a calendar black
then left

But I am too wise
to play this game now
so I make heat from the ashes
form myself a river of sugar
then run through the desert
beneath the ceramic saints
he has left for me
to discover
