A Poem a Day (257): Uncover it all

 
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.
