you cannot follow,
you cannot see and
i have no words
you can hear from
under this tree
i call you blood etched
in this bleak season
though i shake of
ragdoll in fist with
every word she speaks
antlers twinned
and forked, i hold whole
worlds here under
the hood of my cloak
yet still,
you cannot follow,
you cannot see
i have no words
you can hear from
under this tree
unfollowed

Fine writing, Michael.Thanks Chris.
I’m sorry. What’s inside is often not pretty. 😂
Ah, but always intriguing! Could say the same.
Mostly bramble and things that go bump in the night, honestly 🦇🕷️
That title gave me shudders! The ultimate social media knife to the heart
😂 that is a huge fear for some folks, certainly. I cancelled all social media a while back, so no one needs to worry about me cancelling them.
But you can still unsubscribe here!
True.
After 20 years of doing this on WordPress, I’ll probably be around for a spell still. Probably at least until the forest calls me.
I didn’t realise it was a post at first…I thought it was a WordPress notice telling me someone unfollowed me! But, they don’t send those. Luckily!
Thankfully, they don’t. I mostly would prefer not to know 😉
So much to misunderstand 😉
Between the opening verse and closing verse. Somethings
Never change, just repeat.
Or to understand with a personalized POV. 🙂
Some things open, too.
it’s so mystical and dark and atmospheric.. many people have said it already, but this ends so hauntingly <3
Thank you Ari. I am very glad you liked it.
Excellent!
