Feast of Souls

forgetting to remember departing egrets
lavender clouds the mist clinging to red pines
the four winds still a tête-á-tête
forgetting to remember departing egrets
the roar of silence fracturing moonset
vacuum energy nothing aligns
forgetting to remember departing egrets
lavender clouds the mist clinging to red pines
