BLOOD OF MY BLOOD


Your veins
are a labyrinth
of blue and cord
under porcelain
bone and buried
two hundred years
a wedding gift connected
to a capstone bequeathed
for posterity.  Your blood wanders
long and tethered corridors
searching for a heart
a high and distant drum
that heralds a banquet
divine.
