under the cloak, under the tree/

under the cloak
i will find you
whispering
in the dark
breath with me
blindfold eyes
kissing decay
underground
undertree
howling
bone claw thorn
mud marked
face blue
in the night
in the night
captured in
shadow hands
writhing
two eyes white

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.
