trenton reid sutherland

and i return the rend lost
in letter rot under hands 
torn hardened until rest  

our thin relent stranded
terse hurt inner and told
distant then rerun older

it held terror unsent and
lent reason ridden truth
thorn lettered ruins and

let in dead northern rust  
send the errant urn i told 
the red arson tunnel dirt
