Bottle Rockets and Bonfire Smoke

Simple verses in memory of Marilyn. --Sean Pendleton--

Bottle Rockets and Bonfire Smoke


Bottle rockets and bonfire smoke
Echo and linger
Saviour of dark dogs
via franks between Her fingers

Obvious and assured understanding
Behind kind eyes-
Researcher of roots
Between the glens
of Welsh Isles-

Young in Columbus
Mature in Indianapolis-
Her purity's preference
would be alive asparagus-
Elegant choice opposed
to unlively quadruped carcass-

Predecessor to niece and sister
Philomathic diplomat to animals

Sister, sister, niece
Polymathic triplicate-
Sky view of the three
The triumphant triumvirate-

The softest tracks
upon and within my heart-
Have left welcomed permanence
of sensed spirit

The spirit of one's Sister

The spirit of one's Aunt-
