My comrades, listen.
Never once dismiss the
Forest within whose bramble
Cradles the embers of
You.
Within labyrinthine twigs flickers
The burgeoning fairytales cloaked in all
But dream.
Know this.
The flames of campfire are singing.
Your lightness flows past the Laws
Of Nature through rivulets noxious with
Fangs multiplying scarlet
Contagion whose vaccine rests
As flickers. For moribund
Lightness strengthens with the
Prodding of breath I see your
Strength in every shrub and leaf.
This land is empty save the battlecry
From the rampart of tomorrows
To you.
My darling, purify with innocence of
You.
