Prodigal

Jabberwocky

What can you bring?
What can be brought,
from the four corners,
home.
How can you stand,
covered in the filth
of too many roads,
before my white halls.

 

I can not wash you with waters

gone dry.


I can not warm you with fires

gone cold.


You will not find the echo

of your name.


I can feed you only ashes.
