flint on steel

michael raven poems December 13, 2022 1 Minute

there is nothing
in the stones but
what you bring
..all answers are
yours

flint on steel

*//spark

you came as a
straw dog and
that is how
we all leave

threads and binds
and truth and lies...

nobody gets out
of here
alive

“there is nothing

Every word here is so good.

And like stones each mark that we make will someday be eroded. Great piece, Michael.

  Thank you, Chris. I’m one of the few people I know who embraces the ephemeral, so I celebrate the weathering of those things that seem constant.
