By the Sparrow, I Knew You Once

[Bison]

This is the empty heart
It beats, it has not forgotten how
Merely why

Struck soft
By memory and dream
The haven of sleep denied

Crush out old light
Waste not
Breathe in, rattle

Sedentate
Washed in time
Replacing bone

Wake me
Without the tears
Without regret

Wow Bison - your opening stanza in this just grabs me "...it has not forgotten how...Merely why"! Lovely, lovely meditation material here. Thank you.

A sparrow's-fall of dream-lines, each a hook for contemplation.
