draw you to the ocean
as the car burns slow
wings charcoal shine
remembrance and thorn
kissing in the moonlight
strange days these

locks and quay
water flowing over
a queen stand high on
the southern side
a troll under
bridges north
scrimshaw on
western shores
mountains to the
east

one eye blind
waiting for the sun
to set in the east

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 traditions.
