blackwater

of godless ways wandering
between gallows gone to grey
the rocky shore's blackwater
framed in deadwood propped
in seaweed and broken oar
waiting for the sluagh's arms
to embrace a heart of coal
the company of ravens and
a host of crows waiting
waiting
waiting
for snows to fall

    Fantastic images, especially, “blackwater
    framed in deadwood”

    Good questions about whether or not things can be forced to come about or if waiting is the only way. Either way it is impossible to know the outcome of either path.
    Nice.

      Forcing takes more effort than the results are worth at times.
