Inkwells

When the inkwells run dry We'll make our own from water and ash

What if we wrote

our stories

with ink

Like bloody

fingerprints

that last forever

When the inkwells

run dry

We'll make our own

from water

and ash

We burn our

bones

to end

this earthly

turmoil

But our handprints

remain on stone

Faded pictures

captured

in sunlight

Our stories

told

over

time

Let us be remembered.
