Some Ember - Era of Wind

life grinds its way up through the earth
wending cold, back and forth
a color that reflects the truth
inverted and spun, spitting the new

icy hand that covers all
from fingertip to dilated eye
it closes grip on vibrated flesh
squeezes hard, til blood drips

fill the jar / covered in age
life swells in
out, out from the earth
ask it a question
fill the jar / covered in age
feel the joy
life swells in, out from the earth
will it change them out
opposite
