Contributed By: Cathartic

we go back to what we know
retreating
to the things of old

i return
ruminating
yearning

sea to shore
dust to dust
i speak your name in the dark

as a wish, a prayer
to raise the dead once more

like a woman possessed
i speak your name
an incantation saying,

sea to shore
dust to dust
me to you
