choo choo
a world of bamboo
and derailed ghosts
totem poles
in a barking sea
moon tales
from the other glass
from the other garden
from the other bone
from the other rose
from the empire of the hand
and the cloister wall
the legacy of a star
is a stone
the legacy of a stone
is an hour
the legacy of an hour
is your heart
and nothing more
but a verse of snow
and silence
