white hart
to your red-eared hound
white swan
on your seas incarnadine
white ash
to your ruddy flame
(be it wood un-burned
or wood forever changed)
the white
unto the red is sacrificed
you'll find, my love
you need not ask me twice.

Cool. Awesome poem. Thanks.
this doesn't feel like a poem - it feels like sacred writing. I can almost smell the embers of a banked fire and the soft chants of acolytes. have you drawn an image to accompany this one - i would love to see that as well if you have.
"the white

That is a powerful ending. Really intense, spare and masterful.
I'm with Rhi on this one.
Neat writing!
"....white swan
on your seas incarnadine..."
Well written, girlfriend. Don't see that word often enough.
Emily,
I love it. So sparse (as someone else said) but so full of meaning. :)
Hi all, Hi Rhi
Hmmm. I think I may have to try drawing something for this :)
