Reckoning’s Hollow

deliverance,
be pardoned
as I turn
to your key
ensconced
beneath the
shadows of
faded hearts
recoiled into
the unharnessed
burdens of forgotten
chances
I gaze unto
your dutiful sea
harkening your call
inside and out
surrendered
in waves
calming through
as circumstance
perforates time
along these
stranded pastures of
reckoning’s hollow
