I'm still alive

Burn your sage, burn the lavender.
Stand there, feeling rejected.
Say the prayers, offer your seed.
Keep the candle burning, keep the direction, keep the mountains moving.
She sometimes gets lost when she's alone.
Lost her brave, losing time.
Are you safe, now that you have space?
Have you gone to the seaside?
Good timepieces and proper coffee.
Flowers given to
Innocents who somehow became
Targets
She can hide in the woods, she'll walk in the snow.
Bells and girls and jingles and blankets.
Send the prayers, burn the sage, paper cranes.
Weak
Lace and satins.
Ink stains in flesh, cut her blood deep.
We were dying, we were fine.
You should have left long ago.
But were you too occupied bloodletting?
