limbs and stones

limbs and stones and
sticks and bones and
snicker snack those
limbs will crack and
bones will grind
between twin stones
while pricked with sticks
while you are
hagstone peering and
hagstone fearing
cold iron cold iron
cold iron cold iron
cold iron cold iron
cold iron cold iron
cold iron cold

    I love this one! The repetition is so fun and has such a great cadence. Always so inspired by your writing.

      Thanks Bridgette. You honor me. 🙏

      I’ve got this thing going round in my head that’s creepy, but can’t wrap my hands around it.
