threads

inclement hope rising on the black
threads of the candle's final sigh,
knotting into hands that touched you.

I will wear through the knees of supplication,
so what if the blood flows into the caliche, nothing
will grow in this ground of bones.
eyes pinned, breathing between fingers,
lungs salient in the grip of beauty.
I am developing a taste for the infinite
and the easy lie of kindness
