Inception | Rune Echo

Rune Echo
by Michael Lohr

Ripples in the rain pool,
provoked by falling autumn leaves,
these things remind me of you,
a dark soul among bloodied thorns.

A fleeting whisper,
barely audible within humanity's collective scream,
imbedded deep in the jagged splinter of memory.

The ghostly figure of passing hours
moves in silence,
and counts the dying,
like poker chips.
