to shatter ice

seething a steel spike
to shatter ice, to
strike sparks to stone
sever sinew & send
a tattoo to bone

pierce mine eyes
so the seeing can begin

shh tell no one this lullaby it is our secret to own welcome to this razor wire

      Thank you. I probably shouldn’t admit that I only noticed I had done that while I was editing it prior to hitting the publish button. 😂

        It works well though. Reading it out loud gives a great effect. 🙂

    Great piece to hear out loud (well I my head anyway!). Flows really well.

      Thank you Chris. Out loud in the head is probably the loudest anyone should hear most of my writing… 😂
