The Ermine



                                       little ermine with black tipped tail

                                       something has drawn blood from your beautiful white throat

                                       left you lying on this path through the meadow

                                       I lean into another loss / yearning for summer

                                       spring already a lie

  2. A succinct and poignant eulogy. I perceive something more than an earthling in you.
