the devil (fifteen)

michael raven poems, tarot for fun March 5, 2023 1 Minute

stripping down
to view a darker side
& the lies i have
made mine over time

she is industry & so
she examines
lines sketched
wrangling a tangled
web i weave
around my
loamsome heart

i have lingered
in margins for
evernight too long
her hands helping
shadows pour out

severance, now...
love is the law

i part rust shackles
entangling vines
fall away towards
a kiss of tomorrow

Lingered in the margins. I feel that.
