Genesis 41: In Writing

In the gaping hollow
world is swallowed
and emptied

In the sere east wind
memories dry, crack
and crumble

Beauty, soft and round
as a lost child
turns hard,
painful to look at
unseen

Within each other
we are ingested
good to bad
and bad to good

a phoenix
dying in its flames
birthed again
renewed in a name
and fire-gold feather

from forgotten
to forgetting
fertile within my scream
spilled out soft
on the crusted earth
a satiating stream
