i yield my flesh to
the carrion feast —
strip me down to bone
to scatter me to stone
and bleach me to sun
wash away my stain
for i do grow ever weary
homage
Photo by pedram ahmadi on Unsplash badh touched my shoulder
as i held the remains of
old friends in a wooden box
i turned to the battle crow
as she leaned forward
laying her night beak
on my pale lips in kiss
numbing my flesh to tingle
well after i woke under
the reapers moonTo like/comment:

all out of time
carving the sickle moon
and dancing wrists
i slip back to stone
where blood runs thick
perhaps it is homeTo like/comment:

into broken glass
no one needs read
these words writ
when they can be
given flow in show
and paint the floor

the pale and the grey
lichen and moss the taiga
blue, sage and stained
this grows home and stone
of a passing day, lost

sway the cattails and
rain downTo like/comment:
