chasing after shadows 
who chase after shades
running in circles of 
illusion

exhausted

today
time to lay
down the head
sleep and
never wake

Michael Raven has been murdering innocent words since some time in primary school and hasn’t had the decency to stop after he was first published in second grade. During the mid-90s, he was the emcee at a spoken word/open mic salon, "Sweet Immolation", in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. He is deeply interested in the Old Ways and in shamanic tradition. || Watch for Michael’s upcoming chapbook of poetry, "galdr: thought and memory", published by Raw Earth Ink, due out in early 2022.
