Thrusting triumphantly,
tomb thoughts
test time’s testing
the tasking trials…the tribulations…
the turning tributaries
twisting to the tiredness that time’s
torque tries to tenderly treat.
Worn weary warriors waiting
watching with wide wedged
wrinkled woes wrenched waywardly.
Beautiful bristlecone black
bodies, time tested travellers:
awakening, arising, aware.
