​

amber seeping through the bias of silk cloth

​

           tying remembrances to our martyrs made of gold & marigolds

​

                            flowers to welcome them home; threading to pierce their skin for our glory

​

                                                                                                            we stand our ground 

​

                placing adornment on their bodies to move further into a temple of sacrifice
