A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Beyond Good and Evil I waited in the wings of the dark night For you to take notice of my Evil eye Watching the trains pass at 10,000 miles per hour I tried to pick out each individual passenger through the tinted windows But, there wasContinue reading “WD 148 “Beyond Good and Evil””

WD 147 “Two Incomes”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Two Incomes I began to weep My worker’s hands torn and shredded with broken calluses Is this everything we can be Ships stationed at a dock, dreaming of the ocean? I canter softly across the deck and take my place at your side, the horizon IsContinue reading “WD 147 “Two Incomes””
WD 145 “Vessels of Wrath”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Vessels of Wrath “I am” Such a phrase to inspire A line of products And advertisements upon a podium The fickle moon waxes and wanes Hands clasped like we’re part of the same machine Animatronic diaphragms wavering and pumping out new followers but No leaders It’sContinue reading “WD 145 “Vessels of Wrath””
WD 144 “Angel”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Angel I am a husk of the former slave A contingent emissary, checking in from the dark With blanket stares Enough eyes to coat the starry sky With lessons, condescension And so is the face of the angel Ingrained in stone Hand to the plow BulletContinue reading “WD 144 “Angel””
WD 140 “Crime Drama”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 130 “Azathoth Blind”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Azathoth Blind Black stars falling I could see you through the veil of immortality But what reflection would I see in that endless sea?

WD 126 “Elegance (Faith is Not Enough)”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Elegance (Faith is Not Enough) I want to drink you Slide your soul over the fringes of a crystal champagne glass And taste that sense of truth that is innate to your being It has to be so soothing to know Clerical to be so solidContinue reading “WD 126 “Elegance (Faith is Not Enough)””
WD 125 “About the Abyss”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. About the Abyss Create a timestamp Or at least an educated guess What went wrong. When things began to crawl instead of run Ether to ether Begotten loss Shoulders bared, inside a chamber where thoughts move slowly We call it “The beach” A palace of considerations Continue reading “WD 125 “About the Abyss””
WD 123 “Annihilationism”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Annihilationism I lay me down to sleep In a bed shaped like a coffin It’s undeniable that I need some extra rest Before I sink my teeth in tomorrow’s affairs Keep my box heated It gets cold underground Nightly vapors tend to seep through the cracksContinue reading “WD 123 “Annihilationism””
WD 121 “Hungry Ghost”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Hungry Ghost Take me home, at last I waited in the wings, posed with claws outstretched Wings ten cubits tip to tip I knew I was too heavy to carry, so I left my body behind A sad memento of futile thinking, underneath a shallow layerContinue reading “WD 121 “Hungry Ghost””
