WD 214 “Change My Skin”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Change My Skin I came to a realization At the peak of one lunar mountain The things that changed me were also changed.  Coins in my pocket, jingling with oils and skin cells  Passed between traders and betrayers alike  Silver in the shaft like Judas hunting werewolvesContinue reading “WD 214 “Change My Skin””

WD 213 “Mermaid Blues”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Mermaid Blues It’s just me aboard this canoe Naked bleached under the sun  On a seaward journey without drinking water But if there was a way to filter all the salt of these wounds From that crystal spring that spews from the godly abyss  I wouldContinue reading “WD 213 “Mermaid Blues””

WD 212 “All There Is”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. All There Is Bring me another vision Something translucent to place like a filter over my eyes While I watch TV Looped animation, your days and hours like a pixelated GIF French fries dipped in wine Until you tell me the world is what we makeContinue reading “WD 212 “All There Is””

WD 211 “Waters of Lethe”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Waters of Lethe I start with a low sound Violin strings, sing unto me We have no use for the liar and his deceptions But you told me “I am the seed of the pomegranate.

WD 210 “Weird Sisters”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 209 “We Are All Plagued”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. We Are All Plagued I woke up standing up Bolt upright like I was the target of the lightning Hail falling down across my shoulders Your snowy mane rife with disease  And you coughed in my direction Alluding to the second coming Forget me not  PetalsContinue reading “WD 209 “We Are All Plagued””

WD 208 “Edge of Dream”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Edge of Dream It’s genetic  They say The trials of birth leave a mark on The mind of a child  Of ghostly origin tell me nothing Of spirit imbued, leave it in the apocrypha And if I’m too hasty to label myself existent  Tell the judgesContinue reading “WD 208 “Edge of Dream””

WD 207 “Stethoscope”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Stethoscope  Reflect all the  Light that was taken away  And be a beacon for the sick The blind, the def, lepers and Those with chronically weak hearts We had a boat that traveled by the ruddy glow of the blood stream  Tossed by the reckless whimsContinue reading “WD 207 “Stethoscope””

WD 206 “Artifice”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Artifice  A lie A clever distraction  Braced end to end in iron bars  What am I  But a carbon copy  Of every breath you take  A sad memory on the sweet breeze When you close your eyes to shut off the electrical circuits in your head Continue reading “WD 206 “Artifice””
