clanless, i hold

michael raven poems April 24, 2023 1 Minute

clanless, i hold
core to heart
where most folk
dare not tread
this is real bleeding
this is real bone
ink stains on fingers
dusk-stained eyes
crimson the mouth

beware:
plastic crumbles
under sun's
unflinching gaze

  Thank you. I feel it is one of the better pieces I have written within the past six months.
