The Thin Smoke of the Heart |
eBook Available
It is that sort of morning for the heart;
the living are giving the dead an honest test.
A man has walked out to be alone with the earth.
A man of his age, he equates time with grief
most days, but now he has decided to wait.
In the silence, where do his raised eyes fit?
--from Vow
