Sara A. Mosier: 2 poems

Messenger

Black winged
mysteriarch 
singing 
tree to tree
a careful eye
on the stones
below
that 
whisper names when
the fog is low
he writes
in his book
of who is who
with a feather of
his own
their times
his keeping
in this mysterious
conversation
with death 

Pathways

dark rooms
lingering 
in the corners
of your mind,
sit empty
despite their size
hollow echoes ring
bouncing off
untethered walls
like broken glass
you will it to leave
to close,
to burn,
when you should
open the windows
and free yourself
from this state
you built
with pain
long ago.
