sagebrush moons

 

sagebrush moons

 

 “time as he grows old teaches many lessons.”
   ~ aeschylus (525-456 bc), greek soldier & playwright ~

 

so says the mother of mothers 

 

 

                  as much as my tears bled throughout 

 squalor still refuses enough of a score disturbed

 

hunger pains of unanswered saulies prayed

 stopped buoyantly hashing clenched teeth

 

                                      crucifying

                     film scars refreshed

 

                while appending doom congregates

but never ever kept among sagebrush moons

 

brine tears & sage shall clean out any ghost

                      so says the mother of mothers 

 

bloodshot roadmaps led nowhere as i followed my gaze

    to know, no reflections concentrates this late in time

 

yet the hours of darkness still sifted an alpenglow dawn

            the cynosure of my once upon a time sacrosanct eyes

I hesite to comment as free form is not really to my liking I found your writing to be obscure and I was uanble to understand what you were trying to say Of course the fault may lie with me As I am an old fashioned rhyme and meter poet

[CarolinaBlu]

tense confusion -
there have been pros &
cons of say vs says -
& yes, i agree with you

look up saulie - it may
refine your definition
