the votives flicker
tangled wicks in stoic bloom
roots unbound by flame
a year on gravity’s wings
blue seafoam sanctuary

This catches my imagination with vivid images. I love… “a year on gravity’s wings
blue seafoam sanctuary”
The votives flicker took me straight to the room.
This reveals just enough to make you wonder, “what’s the backstory here…and why was that year so heavy?” Very intriguing. I love your use of the votives.
