Bottle Rockets and Bonfire Smoke

Bottle Rockets and Bonfire Smoke


Bottle rockets and bonfire smoke
Echo and linger
Saviour of dark dogs
via franks between Her fingers

Obvious and assured understanding
Behind kind eyes-
Researcher of roots
Between the glens
of Welsh Isles-

Young in Columbus
Mature in Indianapolis-
Her purity's preference
would be alive asparagus-
Elegant choice opposed
to unlively quadruped carcass-

Predecessor to niece and sister
Philomathic diplomat to animals

Sister, sister, niece
Polymathic triplicate-
Sky view of the three
The triumphant triumvirate-

The softest tracks
upon and within my heart-
Have left welcomed permanence
of sensed spirit

The spirit of one's Sister

The spirit of one's Aunt-
