etchings iii


i

solid
solid as word
etched to granite

no denial
of existence, no
half truth

 curtain requires
reason in
 closure, cadaver
burial

no plot here, no
torn page
sought

we are only
words
separate
 solid

ii

discussion
of loss
requires bleeding
scent
 remaining

winter
exposes the
soul
bones collected
read

the thorn
worships, color is
 no
longer
required

iii

ink
satisfies self
against
blank

journey ends
with
lack of

who are
you
to consummate
purpose

who am
 i
to hang
confessed

distorted

  1. winter
    exposes the
    soul
    bones collected
    read

    the thorn
    worships, color is
    no
    longer
    required....very cryptic....but also a very cool flow to this bk....above is my fav part though....

  2. i like the double play of words and how they finish one thought and start another. cryptic indeed but well written
