On Ash

On Ash is a poetic journey reflecting upon a moment in life when love has all the power to give and all the power to destroy. my dress, threadbare, clung like a damp breeze against my heart and thighs. sewn, wampum shells, drumbed almost violent yet held tight against the storm. my spirit, transcended, took upon itself a new veracity it swelled within me and purged itself, of me. and embraced me and carried me rescue.
