Uncover it all
Uncover
it all
in
stages, unwrapping
a
pass-the-parcel of
missing
anecdotes,
forgotten
images
on
rewind record.
This
curtain closes
on
pictures past.
Our ancestors
silent,
the lost
gather
and sing
out songs
for them
to hear.
He
collects stories
in his broad
arms,
wraps up
decades,
hands
open to heal.
Rose
quartz warms
and we
grow sleepy
as the
west wind nears
the
unglown moon.
