a quiet return to still waters,
a silent prayer at nonexistent altars.
a raven's croak,
not bespoke.
a crow's caw,
not in awe.
a witch in an old place made new again,
a search made in vain.
old friends to dust,
athame in rust.
one step, one pause.
a house, hopefully home again.
a purpose made cause,
flowers to be lain
at the grave
of who she used to be.
the one who gave
to all that she could see.
