A hush
In the dark
A spark
From the hush
The stark
Heart mark
Of the poem
A thread
In the chest
A crest
On the thread
The blessed
Death pressed
Breath
Of the poem
A door
In the mind
A find
Past the door
The core
War ore
Evermore
Of the poem
A name
You can’t say
A way
Through the name
The flame
Same shame
Night frame
Of the poem
A beat
In the dust
A thrust
In the beat
The must
Rust trust
Deep cut
Of the poem
