Dark and crooning. I am starving. Ripping my feathers to satisfy my hunger. I perch only for the glory of a wandering soul’s gaze. Waiting. Slowly my hunger grows as does the darkness. Shrieks. Caws. My talons sink; deep. The screams are devoured by my hunger; I feast.
I wrote this in response to 50 Word Horror Story Contest 🙂 Check it out if you’re feeling spooky!
I breathed fire into
Your lungs
And you tasted
Iron
Heat
Lusting for the
Warmth
Of my home
I whispered flames into
Your hands
And gave you
The right
To
Divide…

I found a corner
A dark seeping
Wall
To whisper all my
Evil secrets
And cast the
Darkest parts
Of myself
.
Underneath a
Paper thin
Reserve
Lurks an unknown
Force
A mirror lake
To reflect
Nothingness
I felt the red eyes
Where breath and nails serve to haunt
Am I alone here?
Radiate from me
And never be afraid
To speak light
In this evensong,
The grapes of wrath
Led me astray
Who will call
Me home?
Remember all of me
And never be afraid
To sing love
In this service
The body longs
To be whole
Who will laugh
At me?
Understand the me
A mirror that has
Yet to reflect
In this movement
Hands and feet
Bring me home
Who will name
My eyes?

The Anthropocene Hymnal is going live! — Experiments in Fiction
I fell apart
in this land called
home
a wanderer waiting
for the world
to fall
I stood apart
in this land called
love
a dreamer daring
a noble love
to find me
I laughed apart
in this land called
hope
a simple song
eminating
from me
I am adrift
at sea
won’t you
pull me back
into your safety?
I am adrift
at dawn
calling for the
crow to
guide me
home.
I am adrift
in the noontime
sun
burning all
reserves
from my senses.
I am adrift
at sea
will you save
me
with your warm embrace?
