NATURA MORTA by Alexander Booth

Grief’s winter-like gnaw
Was numb, a knuckle
          & beauty in shards

Fra Angelicoed at your feet
You saw: a frost white line

Bronchiole to hill, to
Time; you heard: the days

In wind, at the edge
            The ashen word
Reignite the world     gold     addio


Excerpted from Triptych: The Little Light That Escaped, Alexander Booth.
