Spoken Soul

Some lights burn true, whatever the darkness.

Out of the Burning

Bury me in garlands
Of burning paper
With all my pollen sparks of steel
Sophia Nugent-Siegal

Out of the burning fire
Truth remains true
Its generative spark whirls up
Into the shadowed world

Spoken soul,
Fæst*, unbroken

Of singular self tempered,
Made to be

Wrought living
In a purifying fire

By R. Nugent

Wrought living, brave, wise Soph.

Alive to the soul still…
