Limbus

Tree trunk, stripped bare.
Crossbar, damp air.
Black clouds, crows caw,
perched on nails — gone.

A sign, four words.
No voice is heard.
Cramped cave, stone bed
where herbs lay — bled.

Long wait, dark night.
No candles burn bright.
Hinted return.
But silence — burns.

mortal nights

as i discover
my body, sometimes
hangs heavy
as a neanderthal
with arms hanging
from shoulders dragging
weight to the ground
legs plod along rocks
as neck cocks side
to side wary of night
beasts lurking
deep in woods
on the long path
trodden on home

Mandé
A #poetry thread

i.

An evening meal with an old friend
who told us he’d cross a stony bridge,
its span a trial, then he’d descend
to wade into black waters’ edge.

Upon the table stripped and bare,
a bowl of dried roses, grey as stone.
The meal that we'd been served was spare:
a loaf, thinned wine, a candle blown.
