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 189 “Overcoming”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Overcoming I wrote my signature on Your ego With the commandment in the bylaws  “Thou shalt not change” Because the passage of time is more of a cliff face to me and I don’t See the other side  And we kept building new things in thisContinue reading “WD 189 “Overcoming””

A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth. Mid Summer Hunt Summer means, Light exposure, tanning and sunburns but The nights are still dark and If I cry out loud enough, will it echo off the moon like light and ripple down  On all of us who sit sleeping in the dark part ofContinue reading “WD 75 “Mid Summer Hunt””

WD 54 “Flat Earth”

A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth. Flat Earth My body is tired from  The motions of this world The air resistance pushing against the thread-bare skin, muscle and ligaments Chilling the parts of the soul That are exposed You can’t shout over the full voice of the wind And we are bothContinue reading “WD 54 “Flat Earth””
