ever did i/

©2022 Michael Raven

i knew i knew
ever did i know
in the rivers
through the sea
on the winds
in ancient trees
i knew i knew
ever did i know
dark lips pale
wintered as the snow
i kissed you
in the moonlight
salt rubbed air
i knew i knew
hair dun in rime
lips pressed to mine

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.
