dreams tear hearts from sleeves
crush them under heel
leaving floors stained crimson
black and bruised
scarlet-handed fate weaves
weft and warp tangled
with broken glass shards
always drawn apart
these hearts ribbons ripped from
the fabric of time

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.
