filling the air into the nose
earth and fire
let all this anger expire
mix with sandalwood
stir and grind into dust
elders come in trust
turn the soil from the dead
dream of spirits in your head
bind the violent, bind the hate
melt within a candle flame
make us one all in the same
lips numbed, tingled bittered sort
imbued with a hum of
Madder wort
