∴ a titan glides
where morality fades
fortunes diverge
from virtue

justice hides
on the horizon
integrity unchallenged

for the corpse fjord

indelibly penned
upon my very being
your color seeping
into my marrow and soul

and it may also be the last
inscribing our own path
where wild things flow free ∴¹

polar gusts howl

elixir of renewal
steam rises
in sacred ascent ∴¹

∴ grief of the elm tree
fibrous bundles interlace
imparting truths
with root-riddled tongues

trees are sentinels
standing solitary
forever bound
by communion

their ancient lament
etched in bark
sorrow and reverence
for souls felled ∴¹
