estranged of night

estranged of night
citrus rot, bitter nuts

no one trusts a scry

wipe away these eyes
fevered thrum pounding
a head song drumming
tongue void tasting

shadows on shadow veil
sacred in the fallow
winds sweep the stone
for rain

    It sounds like they came up empty handed. It’s very rude to scry on those that didn’t give permission for it. Stalking, really. Nonetheless, this is a beautifully dark piece, Michael.

      Not intended to imply spying via scrying, but you are right if used to stalk someone. This was intended to be more innocent of an occasion than that, however.

      Thank you 💙

    You sure do write some original lines that stir up vivid imagining. A treat to read and visualize. Thank you, Michael.
