ashes atop sanded stones

Old is old

And set like stone

In minds of traditional raising

Like trees

Their roots grow deep unknown

With reach unseen

But wood is wood

And grown is grown

Some seeds will always spread in woods

And amongst the this olding moan of moans

Which echo still above the snow

For nothing changes beneath this hearth

Cept wood and fire

These ashes atop sanded stone

Nothing left, a tanka
