materia

michael raven darkwoods, poems March 14, 2023 1 Minute

1
firewalk
ash rising on
smoke-filled skies

2
night & shadow
surrender firmament
nothing unseen

3
slag cast aside
winter rains falling
on hard earth

4
unworked steel
hammered into
blaze & shape

5
temper & fold
strike & mold
edges draw the dawn

6
wetstone
a wheel spins
smooth the rough

7
polished,
nigh reflects
starry skies
