I am not

the bee welt,

cause of carrion,

nor the salve.

Not the morning

predator

devouring eggs,

but instead

the tired moon

trimming

sprouts

of silver

from hair,

hoping for

shared sleep.

Tender mother

borne of

rejected daughter.

Sometimes

slight

smoke signal

linger

or full bloom

on the best

of days.
