Begin
Be a grim grin
Knee in
knee deep
in peat moss
and a cross boss

Grip sword
and slide blood and
make mud slick
like it wasn’t

Leave pleasant
Please weave
a bin or a basket
create a casket
for your body
the one you carry now
through the shallows of
this shore
and sure
remember what you were
and where you are
and what got you
from there to here

Fear nothing
Know one thing
Love
Know two things
Grit for without it
the first is lost fast
