Is this how it ends?
Silence?
fingers through cold clay ashes.
smear out the shine of memory
searching heart for tenderness
patience
love
thumb and forefinger
roll sharp bone chips and
embers, cold, both suited for
necklace beads, earring spokes
numb fingers painting Aboriginal
masks of desperate visage-
blackened charcoal outlines,
filled in with gray ash streaks,
and ear pierce tears of red
Is this how it ends
the silence of questions never answered,
unable to speak our secret name?
Solitary silence.

WickedEvealmost 20 years agoThese lines especially caught my attention:
fingers through cold clay ashes.
smear out the shine of memory
