Sepulcrum
Bones interred in a rotunda made of ivy-cloaked stone
where a chipped statue sits in the dusk on her stained throne.#poem #poemaday #poetry #mausoleum #moody #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography

Limbus
Tree trunk, stripped bare.
Crossbar, damp air.
Black clouds, crows caw,
perched on nails — gone.A sign, four words.
No voice is heard.
Cramped cave, stone bed
where herbs lay — bled.Long wait, dark night.
No candles burn bright.
Hinted return.
But silence — burns.#poem #poemaday #poetry #catholic #anglican #holyweek #holysaturday #goodfriday #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography

Excerpt from "A Poem for Roadkill" by River Elizabeth Hall, a WA state poet:
"What if we pulled over,
got close enough to feel the death-rattle
shake the air against our skin?Offered regret for getting in the way
with our roads, our tires, our glass?"https://tinderboxpoetry.com/a-poem-for-roadkill

Sanguine royale
A #poem in two partsi.
Poking through
wild rosebush’s thorns,
by winter’s remnants
still adorned,
gold velvet
of a magnolia’s buds
gives way to
royal purple in floods.🧵👇🏼

Reread a poem this morning that I included in one of my transportation poetry round-ups (http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/02/17/how-we-get-where-were-going-transportation-poems/).
“The News in Southwest Minnesota” by Marianne Murphy Zarzana
"The victim, following the rules of the road, still unsafe, vulnerable.
The intersection, unconsciously aiding and abetting fatal collisions."https://www.ayearofbeinghere.com/2014/07/marianne-murphy-zarzana-news-in.html
