ReBlossom by Alastre ZidlerAbove the cemetery dust
And grey dead roots gnarling
Twisting 4 feverish hands
Natarajan
Struck the brittle slate earth
Bellowing the name
Of a Phoenix
Lo, such days of vacant sleep,
Walking in ones body
Despite a lack of movement -
An inverted replica
Petal-less
What passion
Have I yet to
Fresh waters of the wellspring
From behind the veinwork I emerge
And in my hand, something pulsing red,
Alive and new.
