Recognition

My voice scattered 

among your ash

your charred bones

my brittle sound

entangled

Indistinguishable
Fragments

Even my fingers

wrapped around a 

kind shovel

initials SH

worn thin and deep
into the barrel

are heavy, soaked[in a]
sorrow drawn marinade-- 

How now, dear maddening prologue,

did you come to be 

recurring through later chapters?
