Can I explain this to you? Your eyes
are entrances the mouths of caves
Caves to collapse, wonderful interiors
vistas to view, kukri the gate
with artefact in hand I look and dream.
Like a dancer? Swift and quick
with deadly steps and intoxicating thrum
Sobs for mercy, such hum
one swish, it parts courage
lines cut through morning and sun.
Some kneel and pray? Matterless bay
some red liquid cooled black by legend
My fingers, their soil plowed
lightning speed, we come
All end beneath the centuries of earth.
The ghost? Ritual of blade
glimpses of the past now stolen
Much release, I did hack
hurried moves, placed it back –
A garment I am naked without.
